More often than not, it is very hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX210 and ST90.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX210 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Samsung NX210 will produce more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The fresher NX210 should have an edge in sensor tech.
