As you can see, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R10 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony A7R IV will render extra detail due to its extra 37MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more modern R10 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
