The WB750 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony NEX-F3 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged WB750 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
