As you have seen, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm SL1000 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony A7 II will deliver greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL1000 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
