To sum up, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R7 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A7R V will deliver extra detail having an extra 28 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively.
