Typically, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reviewing specifications. The visual here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the V-Lux 4 and RX10 IV.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The V-Lux 4 using its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony RX10 IV will offer extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older V-Lux 4 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
