Typically, its hard to see the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S4500 and RX10.

As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S4500 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony RX10 will give greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S4500 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
