Normally, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor dimensions merely by researching specs. The picture underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the B600 and RX10 II.

All in all, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The B600 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX10 II will provide you with greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent B600 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
