Samsung NX200 has a 20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Samsung NX100 has a 15.0MP APS-C (23.4 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIMe Engine processor.
Samsung NX200's sensor provides 5MP more than Samsung NX100's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the NX200 and NX100 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX200 and Samsung NX100 Cameras
