Often, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading specs. The picture below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FH27 and A7c.

All in all, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FH27 with its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sony A7c will offer you extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged FH27 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
