The DP2x was unveiled 8 years before the RX100 VI which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the DP2x matches up vs the RX100 VI with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sigma DP2x and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI. The full galleries are available at Sigma DP2x Gallery and Sony RX100 VI Gallery.

Generally, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specifications. The pic here will provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the DP2x and RX100 VI.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The DP2x with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony RX100 VI will offer greater detail having an extra 15MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged DP2x is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
