Often, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The pic here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the WB50F and A7R IV.

To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The WB50F due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7R IV will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged WB50F is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
