As you can plainly see, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The ST93 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will render more detail using its extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged ST93 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
