Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB210 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A9 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older WB210 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
