Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The photograph here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S3200 and RX10.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S3200 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony RX10 will result in greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older S3200 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
