As you can see, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TL205 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A7R III will give you greater detail because of its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged TL205 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
