Plainly, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z270 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Sony A7R will result in more detail having its extra 26MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older EX-Z270 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
