Oftentimes, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the L830 and RX10 II.

As you have seen, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The L830 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX10 II will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged L830 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
