Plainly, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The DV150F because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony QX100 will provide more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older DV150F will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
