As you can plainly see, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SL102 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7S II will give you more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged SL102 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
