In many cases, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S7000 and RX100 V.

Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S7000 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony RX100 V will provide extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The older S7000 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
