To sum up, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S2950 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sony A7 II will produce extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S2950 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
