Sometimes, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by researching specifications. The graphic below may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the A7c and S2100.

To sum up, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A7c using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony A7c will result in greater detail using its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern A7c is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
