Usually, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the DV300F and A7R IV.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The DV300F having a smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Sony A7R IV will show more detail using its extra 45MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older DV300F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
