As you can plainly see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The DP2x featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A7c will deliver extra detail due to its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The older DP2x is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
