Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A3000 and A7c.

Clearly, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A3000 with its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sony A7c will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older A3000 will be behind in sensor innovation.
