Plainly, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB700 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sony A6600 will render greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged WB700 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
