As you can see, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SL202 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Sony A7S will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older SL202 will be behind in sensor innovation.
