Plainly, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-FC100 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Sony A7S will result in greater detail due to its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older EX-FC100 will be behind in sensor technology.
