All in all, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-450 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sony A7S II will give you more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged E-450 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
