All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GX-10 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sony RX100 VII will provide more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged GX-10 will be behind in sensor innovation.
