Generally, it's hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements simply by researching a spec sheet. The visual here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the A200 and RX10 III.

As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A200 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony RX10 III will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures more aggressively. The older A200 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
