In many cases, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A7c and NEX-5T.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A7c because of its larger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Sony A7c will give you more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger A7c is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
