Quite often, its hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out specs. The visual here should provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the WG-30W and fp L.

All in all, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The WG-30W using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will produce more detail using its extra 45MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The older WG-30W will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
