To sum up, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX100 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony A7c will render greater detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged NX100 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
