Plainly, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S200EXR because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony NEX-5R will show more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older S200EXR will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
