Plainly, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A7 III due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A7 III will result in more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A7 III provides an edge in sensor innovation.
