Generally, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-410 and A7 III.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-410 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Sony A7 III will produce more detail because of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older E-410 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
