More often than not, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the HZ10W and A7 III.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The HZ10W featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Sony A7 III will show extra detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The older HZ10W will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
