More often than not, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes merely by seeing a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB50F and A6500.

As you can see, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The WB50F with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A6500 will provide greater detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged WB50F will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
