All in all, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FP7 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7c will show greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged FP7 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
