LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm XF10 and Sony RX1R II's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".

On the other hand, Sony RX1R II features a Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels whereas the Fujifilm XF10 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to RX1R II.
Fujifilm XF10 vs Sony RX1R II: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm XF10 has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Sony RX1R II has a 42.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features BIONZ X processor.

Sony RX1R II's sensor provides 18MP more than Fujifilm XF10's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Sony RX1R II's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the XF10 and RX1R II sensor size comparison.
