Quite often, it's difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements merely by researching specifications. The visual here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the TS4 and A7 III.

Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TS4 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A7 III will provide you with more detail having an extra 12MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The older TS4 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
