Sometimes, it is tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading technical specs. The image here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX30 and A7S II.

As you can tell, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX30 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX30 will offer you more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged NX30 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
