Sometimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes only by going through technical specs. The pic underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX2000 and A7R III.

As you have seen, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX2000 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A7R III will show greater detail because of its extra 22 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged NX2000 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
