As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WG-10 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony A7c will produce greater detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged WG-10 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
