More often than not, it is hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and A7 II.
Clearly, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7 II will offer extra detail with its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC is going to be behind in sensor tech.
