As you can tell, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Sony A7R V to resolve greater detail using its extra 49 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger A7R V provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
