Plainly, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB35F due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Sony A7R III will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 26MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WB35F is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
