Plainly, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-S5 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A7S II will deliver extra detail having an extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The older EX-S5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
