As you can tell, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The CX4 due to its tinier sensor will make getting bokeh trickier and the Sony NEX-5T will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older CX4 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
