Canon M has a
18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor. On the other hand, Samsung NX2000 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the M and NX2000 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon M and Samsung NX2000 Cameras
As seen above, Samsung NX2000 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon M. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon M and Samsung NX2000 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that NX2000 has a better overall score of 75, 10 points higher compared to M's score of 65.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon M
or the
Samsung NX2000 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
