More often than not, it's hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB35F and A6100.

Clearly, each of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The WB35F because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A6100 will provide more detail due to its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged WB35F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
