Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The G85 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A7c will resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged G85 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
