APS-C isn't actually a definite sensor size – you'll notice that both Nikon and Canon cameras use an “APS-C” size sensor for cameras like the 7D or D40, but the D40's 1.5x APS-C sensor is actually larger than the 7D's 1.6x APS-C sensor.

This Samsung system uses a 1.5x sensor, so it is bigger, albeit slightly.

Canon and Nikon cameras tend to have above-average high-ISO performance, but as a consumer you should *never* make blanket judgements along the lines of “Canon has a good reputation, their high-ISO should always be better than Camera brand X”.

Panasonic and Olympus have had similar cameras on the market for some time now Or don't they count in this Nikon/Canon biased world?

The NX system will use a larger sensor than the 40D will - given equivalent sensor technologies (though you can't assume this), you would expect the NX to produce better quality.
