Clearly, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The P1000 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Sony RX10 IV will deliver extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern P1000 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
