Normally, it can be tough to see the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing specifications. The graphic below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-S5 and fp L.

To sum up, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-S5 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Sigma fp L will produce more detail having an extra 52 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older EX-S5 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
