As you have seen, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The WG-4 GPS having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A7 III will offer more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged WG-4 GPS is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
