Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The picture below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX2000 and DP2x.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Samsung NX2000 to deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 15 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent NX2000 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
