As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WG-3 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A68 will produce more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older WG-3 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
