Normally, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through specifications. The image here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the K10D and RX100 V.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The K10D featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony RX100 V will resolve greater detail having its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged K10D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
