In many cases, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing simply by checking out technical specs. The graphic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB250F and DP2 Quattro.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The WB250F having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma DP2 Quattro will provide greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older WB250F will be behind in sensor technology.
