Often, it is difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and A7S.
Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A7S will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
