Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 5D MIV with its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon 5D MIV will offer you extra detail because of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images far more aggressively. The more recent 5D MIV should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
