Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The RX100 II having a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Sony RX100 II will produce greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent RX100 II is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
