Typically, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing simply by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S2950 and A7S II.

Clearly, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S2950 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the FujiFilm S2950 will give you extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The older S2950 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
