Sometimes, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by checking out specs. The picture below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL2 and FE-45.

All in all, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SL2 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon SL2 will provide extra detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger SL2 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
