Quite often, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm HS50 EXR and A7S III.

As you can see, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm HS50 EXR using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Fujifilm HS50 EXR will result in extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm HS50 EXR will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
