It boils down to two areas (for me, that is), and they are...

...the areas of definition/resoloution and color reproduction.  The 28 MP's on the NX500 is a huge plus and not until recently have some camera companies caught up (well, in a way - i.e. 26 MP's for APS-C sized sensors).

As far as color reproduction is concerned - and here's where it becomes subjective - I  never found the Sony colors to be attractive.  I have no doubt that Sony makes nice cameras - after all, look at their following.  However, for me personally, I've never warmed up to Sony colors.  The Samsung NX colors are unique, that's for sure.  Some of the finest scenic photographs that I've taken over the past decade have occurred with the use of the NX300, NX30, and NX500 - nothing came close.  And that's why I'm holding on to mine.  Well, actually, I recently sold the NX300 because I enjoyed the NX30 and NX500 better.

But to compare an RX100 with a 1" sensor (color preferences aside) with the NX500, which is still quite relevant today, seems a bit of a stretch IMO.
