Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WG-6 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp will offer you more detail utilizing its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged WG-6 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
