Look at the two fish portraits and see which image you like best. It's not difficult to see that not only there is no gap but the canon image is worse.
A portrait gives you an idea of the richness of colour of the camera sensor. It is obvious that that the RX100 has better colours
For dynamic range you need to find a scene with a lot of contrast and dark and bright areas. I can post a few examples here but again the sensor of the RX100 has got more dynamic range. What a set up like the 100D can offer is lens quality however you need to consider that the eye is less interested in detail than colors and dynamic range and that when you use lenses behind domes image quality also drops so you need smaller aperture that in turn need higher ISO that in turn mean less color and dynamic range
A good explanation of sensor and lens iq is on dxomark so you can have a look how those things are evaluated taking into account that lens iq in water generally drops more for SLR and domes than it does for flat ports
