Clearly, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The HZ10W using its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A7S III will offer extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older HZ10W is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
