Both Samsung NX300 and Samsung NX1000 have APS-C sized 20.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the NX300 and NX1000 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX300 and Samsung NX1000 Cameras
Samsung NX300 and Samsung NX1000 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Samsung NX300 and Samsung NX1000 sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark 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. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, NX300 has scored 76, 4 points higher than NX1000.

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 NX300
or the
Samsung NX1000 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
