As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The ST600 due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX1R will offer you extra detail having its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged ST600 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
