Usually, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by researching technical specs. The pic below will provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX1 and A7R V.

As you can tell, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX1 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A7R V will result in greater detail because of its extra 33MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged NX1 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
