The DV150F using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7R IV will show greater detail having an extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged DV150F will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
