Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-PL6 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony A7c will show more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older E-PL6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
