Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The WB250F using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A6500 will give you greater detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WB250F is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
