Plainly, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The F70EXR with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony a5100 will provide greater detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged F70EXR will be behind in sensor innovation.
