Sometimes, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at specs. The picture here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-4030 and RX100 VI.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FE-4030 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX100 VI will give greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged FE-4030 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
