As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX2F having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony WX150 will render more detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern EX2F will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
