Clearly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-FH100 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sony a1 will result in greater detail having its extra 40MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-FH100 will be behind in sensor tech.
