Sony NEX-5 vs Sony FX3 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing simply by checking technical specs. The photograph here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the NEX-5 and FX3.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NEX-5 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony NEX-5 will resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older NEX-5 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
