Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A7R II because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A7R II will offer more detail as a result of its extra 26MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The newer A7R II should have an advantage in sensor technology.
