Typically, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at technical specs. The photograph below should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB750 and RX10.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB750 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony RX10 will give more detail because of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older WB750 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
