All in all, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB50F with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will deliver more detail using its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged WB50F is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
