In many cases, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The graphic underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX500 and fp L.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX500 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 33MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older NX500 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
