Often, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by researching a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the A7S II and A350.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A7S II using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Sony A350 will result in extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger A7S II should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
