Quite often, its hard to see the difference in sensor measurements simply by going through specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm SL1000 and RX100 VII.

Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm SL1000 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony RX100 VII will produce greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm SL1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
