Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z5120 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sony RX100 VI will produce more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged Z5120 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
