Typically, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR15 and RX100 VA.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR15 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX100 VA will resolve greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR15 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
