Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching a spec sheet. The picture underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX200 and WX1.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX200 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung NX200 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The fresher NX200 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
