Generally, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing technical specs. The visual here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the ELPH 135 and RX100 V.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ELPH 135 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX100 V will result in greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older ELPH 135 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
