Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing simply by going over technical specs. The photograph underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Z5120 and RX10 II.

As you have seen, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Z5120 having a tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Sony RX10 II will offer extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older Z5120 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
