Panasonic G10 vs Sony A7 III Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through technical specs. The image here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the G10 and A7 III.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G10 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony A7 III will resolve more detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged G10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
