More often than not, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NEX-5 and T110.

Clearly, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NEX-5 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony T110 will provide greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older NEX-5 will be behind in sensor technology.
