As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB750 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sony RX100 will offer more detail due to its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older WB750 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
