Quite often, it is tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The picture below will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the WB35F and fp L.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The WB35F featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp L will result in greater detail due to its extra 45MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged WB35F will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
