Typically, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by looking at technical specs. The pic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A7c and HX10V.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A7c featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Sony A7c will give you extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern A7c will have an edge in sensor technology.
