Clearly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-Z35 with its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Sony A7R II will offer more detail because of its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z35 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
