Typically, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX2000 and S930.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX2000 having a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Samsung NX2000 will give you greater detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images way more aggressively. The newer NX2000 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
