As you can tell, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-450 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A7 III will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged E-450 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
