More often than not, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB250F and DP1 Merrill.

Clearly, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The WB250F using its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sigma DP1 Merrill will offer greater detail using its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer WB250F provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
