Usually, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FC100 and A35.
As you can see, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-FC100 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A35 will deliver greater detail having its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-FC100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
