More often than not, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading technical specs. The photograph below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S1 and RX10 IV.
As you have seen, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S1 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX10 IV will deliver greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
