Sony A77 II has a
24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Bionz X processor. On the other hand, Fujifilm S5 Pro has a
6.0MP APS-C (23 x 15.5 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Sony A77 II's sensor provides 18MP more than Fujifilm S5 Pro's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the A77 II and S5 Pro sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A77 II and Fujifilm S5 Pro Cameras
Sony A77 II and Fujifilm S5 Pro have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Sony A77 II and Fujifilm S5 Pro sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, A77 II has scored 82, 17 points higher than S5 Pro.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Sony A77 II
or the
Fujifilm S5 Pro ,
including hyperfocal distance.
