As you can see, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The HZ35W having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony RX100 VI will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older HZ35W will be behind in sensor tech.
