Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading specs. The visual below will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and E-M10 III.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R7 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R7 will offer you extra detail using its extra 17MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer R7 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
