Normally, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the A7c and a5000.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A7c having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A7c will produce greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern A7c is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
