As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A7S III due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony H400 will provide you with greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger A7S III should have an advantage in sensor tech.
