Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by looking through a spec sheet. The pic underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX300 and H20.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX300 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX300 will result in greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more recent NX300 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
