Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm A100 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony NEX-5T will result in greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm A100 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
