The EX-Z29 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony TX200V will result in more detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
