Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FE-25 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX100 VII will deliver extra detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
