Clearly, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The ST93 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Sony A7R II will resolve extra detail because of its extra 26 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged ST93 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
