Normally, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the A7S III and A6000.

As you can see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The A7S III because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A6000 will render greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more modern A7S III should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
