Usually, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-47 and A7 III.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FE-47 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A7 III will deliver extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
