To sum up, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z2000 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony a3500 will provide more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older EX-Z2000 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
