The Fujifilm S4200 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX10 IV will provide you with more detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S4200 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
