Quite often, it is difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading specifications. The photograph underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the H50 and RX10 IV.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The H50 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sony RX10 IV will offer greater detail having an extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older H50 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
