Usually, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing technical specs. The image here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the WB1100F and RX100 V.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX100 V will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged WB1100F is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
