As you can see, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WG-10 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Sigma fp will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged WG-10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
