Clearly, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX2000 due to its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will deliver greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged NX2000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
