Clearly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX2000 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Samsung NX2000 will result in extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger NX2000 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
