As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The VG-110 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7c will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older VG-110 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
