Plainly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX2000 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung NX2000 will render more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The fresher NX2000 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
