All in all, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S2500HD with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony RX10 IV will deliver extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older S2500HD is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
