In many cases, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes simply by looking through technical specs. The picture below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A7 III and TX5.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The A7 III having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Sony A7 III will render extra detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer A7 III provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
