More often than not, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the VG-110 and A7R IV.

Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The VG-110 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A7R IV will offer you extra detail because of its extra 49 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The older VG-110 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
