Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm SL1000 and RX10 III.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm SL1000 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX10 III will show extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
