Often, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1X and A7R III.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-M1X using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Sony A7R III will give greater detail with its extra 22MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer E-M1X should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
