In many cases, it can be hard to see the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking technical specs. The image underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB30F and M1.

As you have seen, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WB30F due to its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the YI M1 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WB30F is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
