Quite often, it can be difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z29 and A7S.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z29 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7S will deliver extra detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
