Often, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G700SE and RX100 V.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G700SE because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX100 V will result in extra detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The older G700SE will be behind in sensor innovation.
