Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by seeing specs. The photograph here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the MV800 and RX10 IV.

All in all, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The MV800 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony RX10 IV will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older MV800 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
