Quite often, its difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M-Monochrom and A7c.

To sum up, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony A7c to result in extra detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older M-Monochrom will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
