As you can tell, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ST95 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony RX10 II will provide you with greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ST95 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
