Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by researching specifications. The photograph here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX5 and WB1100F.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NX5 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB1100F will provide you with more detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older NX5 will be behind in sensor innovation.
