The FE-47 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX10 will resolve greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
