Normally, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading technical specs. The picture underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the HS20 EXR and RX10 IV.

As you can tell, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The HS20 EXR featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony RX10 IV will deliver extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HS20 EXR is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
