Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the G10 and A7R II.

As you have seen, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G10 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sony A7R II will render more detail using its extra 30MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older G10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
