As you can see, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A7R IV featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony A7R IV will give you more detail as a result of its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern A7R IV should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
