Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A7c having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony A7c will give extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics more aggressively. The more modern A7c will have a benefit in sensor tech.
