Oftentimes, its tough to envision the gap between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR800 and RX1R.
As you can see, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR800 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX1R will give extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively.
