In many cases, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reviewing technical specs. The image underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T4 and A7R III.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T4 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony A7R III will deliver more detail utilizing its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X-T4 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
