Quite often, it can be difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizes just by going over technical specs. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G10 and A7R IV.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G10 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Sony A7R IV will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 49 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged G10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
