Usually, it's hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX2000 and H70.

As you can see, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX2000 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung NX2000 will provide greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent NX2000 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
