Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The HX350 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Sony RX1 will produce greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern HX350 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
