More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-ZS5 and S3700.

As you can see, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Nikon S3700 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older EX-ZS5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
