Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions just by checking out specifications. The picture here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the A7 III and HX50V.

Plainly, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A7 III with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A7 III will show extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The younger A7 III will have a benefit in sensor tech.
