As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The VH-410 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX100 VII will deliver extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged VH-410 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
