Plainly, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A7c because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A7c will provide you with more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images far more aggressively. The more recent A7c should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
