Normally, it's hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB150F and RX1.

As you can see, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB150F with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sony RX1 will result in greater detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older WB150F will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
