As you can see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Sony A7R V to produce extra detail using its extra 37 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged S1H will be behind in sensor technology.
