More often than not, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the ST150F and RX1R II.
Clearly, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ST150F because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX1R II will give you more detail due to its extra 26 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The older ST150F is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
