Oftentimes, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the X (Typ 113) and ZV-1 II.
As you can see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The X (Typ 113) because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony ZV-1 II will result in more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The older X (Typ 113) will be behind in sensor technology.
