Typically, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the JZ300 and RX100 V.

As you can see, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The JZ300 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX100 V will provide greater detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged JZ300 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
