Typically, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the ST150F and RX10 IV.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ST150F using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony RX10 IV will offer extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older ST150F is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
