Clearly, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-S200 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A77 will offer you extra detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older EX-S200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
