Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z50 because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX1 will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The younger Z50 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
