Generally, its hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing technical specs. The graphic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX2000 and HX200V.

As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX2000 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh simpler and the Samsung NX2000 will render more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more recent NX2000 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
