Plainly, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GX-10 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A7 III will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older GX-10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
