Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing just by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FS10 and a5000.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-FS10 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony a5000 will give you more detail using its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The older EX-FS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
