Oftentimes, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic below will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZS10 and A3000.

Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZS10 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sony A3000 will provide more detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older EX-ZS10 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
