To sum up, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony RX100 VI will render more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WB1100F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
