Usually, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching specifications. The image below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the LX100 and RX100 VI.

To sum up, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The LX100 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony RX100 VI will render extra detail using its extra 7MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged LX100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
