More often than not, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The pic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1 J5 and A7c.

All in all, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1 J5 with its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Sony A7c will offer greater detail because of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged 1 J5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
