As you have seen, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A7c due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A7c will show more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more modern A7c should have an advantage in sensor technology.
