To sum up, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z50 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A7 III will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The newer Z50 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
