All in all, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WG-M1 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh trickier and the Sony A7c will render extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged WG-M1 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
