Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FC100 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Sony A7S II will produce more detail due to its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC100 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
