To sum up, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TL100 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX100 VII will result in extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older TL100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
