Generally, it can be tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX300 and RX10.

Clearly, both of these cameras provide the same MP albeit different sensor dimensions. The NX300 uses the bigger sensor which should make getting shallow depth of field less difficult.
