Clearly, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX2000 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX2000 will render more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged NX2000 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
