Samsung NX2000 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon 80D has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.5 x 15 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 6 processor.
Below you can see the NX2000 and 80D sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX2000 and Canon 80D Cameras
Samsung NX2000 and Canon 80D have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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. Samsung NX2000 and Canon 80D sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that 80D has a better overall score of 79, 4 points higher compared to NX2000's score of 75.

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
Samsung NX2000
or the
Canon 80D ,
including hyperfocal distance.
