Quite often, it can be hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X100S and RX100 IV.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X100S featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony RX100 IV will show more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100S will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
