Naturally so. They are both the 24MP models.
One would have to compare the A7R to the D800/D810 Nikons as they are all 36MP cameras.

I may be wrong but I believe the 800/810 uses the Sony Sensor?

As does the D610.

I would not have a question. The Nikon D750, second D610.
According to Ken Rockwell, kenrockwell.com, the D750 is small and light for an FX camera and has bunches of important features. (Ken Rockwell ha been my goto review site for many years. His reviews are hands-on and real world. Never steered me wrong.
Having lost two shoots due to sdcard faillures some years ago, I look for the ability to write a backup card in a second slot. The Nikon D610 and D750 both write backup cards (Or you can configure it in other ways if you are not subject to my weird mental condition. ;-) )
The Sony is not bad but it is a Sony. The lenses are far more limited and don't seem to be getting more available. Of course it is lighter. Also the battery life is more limited than on any Nikon I have owned (About 10-12 over the years). I've shot a full day with my D7000--about 800 exposures--on a battery and it didn't go out.
On the other hand, the EVF on my a6000 is excellent so an EVF is by no means necessarily a deal breaker. (The battery in my a6000 seems good for only about 300 shots.)

After reading an article about a pro who switched from Nikon to NEX-6 and NEX-7, I thought that made sense and took the same path. After using both cameras and various lenses for two months, I sold the lot.
Of course the NEX cameras aren't the a7, but I didn't like the EVF, in addition to the size and controls. I am completely happy with my D610 and D7100.

I bought a NEX-7 to supplement my D800 because it and the lenses I have for it are too heavy for hiking or walking very far, and for extended trips. So far happy with that decision.
Both have their strengths. The D800 takes substantially better images and has a vastly superior lens supply.
The NEX-7 has better software and I happen to prefer the EVF over the D800's magnificent optical one. The reason is that it most often shows you what you are going to get.
I'd replace the NEX-7 with a mirrorless D5300 in a "New York Minute" (mostly for the fully articulated screen, although the NEX-7 has a folding one). But Nikon doesn't yet seem to get the demand for mirrorless cameras.

I know what you mean by that. It's not the composition that's better, it's the exposure. The Sony EVF show how the image will be exposed, rather than showing just the composition.
