More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching specifications. The pic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the DP2 Quattro and RX100 V.

Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit different sensor dimensions. The DP2 Quattro uses the bigger sensor which should make achieving shallow DOF less difficult. The more aged DP2 Quattro will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
