As you can see, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A7c due to its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony A7c will provide more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more modern A7c is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
