Normally, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching a spec sheet. The visual here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX2000 and NEX-C3.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Samsung NX2000 to render more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more modern NX2000 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
