More often than not, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor dimensions purely by checking specifications. The image underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH22 and A7 II.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FH22 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A7 II will resolve greater detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged FH22 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
