Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GX-10 having a tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh tougher and the Sony A7S III will offer you greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older GX-10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
