Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NEX-5T featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Sony NEX-5T will produce extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern NEX-5T should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
