The S2950 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony RX10 III will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged S2950 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
