Typically, its hard to see the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The graphic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z35 and a5000.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z35 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony a5000 will give greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-Z35 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
