Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by looking through specifications. The graphic underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-S5 and fp.

To sum up, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-S5 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp will render more detail due to its extra 16 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older EX-S5 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
