Normally, it can be hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The picture underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB50F and fp L.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB50F with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp L will result in extra detail with its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged WB50F will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
