Fujifilm S4800 vs Sony RX10 IV Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading technical specs. The photograph underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S4800 and RX10 IV.
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.
