Typically, its difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The picture here should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the P80 and EX2F.

As you can tell, each of these cameras feature the identical megapixel count albeit different sensor sizes. The P80 uses the tinier sensor which should make obtaining bokeh harder. The more aged P80 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
