All in all, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX2F having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony a5000 will resolve more detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX2F is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
