Generally, it can be difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizing purely by checking specs. The graphic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z2000 and NEX-3N.

All in all, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z2000 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony NEX-3N will resolve greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z2000 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
