The WB35F was announced 5 years prior to the RX100 VA and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Samsung WB35F being a Compact camera and the Sony RX100 VA being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a brief overview of how the WB35F matches up vs the RX100 VA in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the WB35F and RX100 VA.

As you can see, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB35F having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony RX100 VA will offer more detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older WB35F is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
