As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-FH100 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A7S will resolve extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
