To sum up, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A3000 will resolve more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively.
