The NEX-F3 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony NEX-F3 will resolve more detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger NEX-F3 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
