Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The RX10 II having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony RX10 II will deliver extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer RX10 II should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
