As you can see, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z280 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma fp L will offer you more detail because of its extra 49MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older EX-Z280 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
