Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over technical specs. The image here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M530 and EX2F.

As you have seen, both of those cameras feature the identical megapixel count albeit different sensor dimensions. The M530 contains the tinier sensor which is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier. The more aged M530 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
