As you have seen, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S4800 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Sony RX10 IV will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S4800 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
