Plainly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The WB750 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sony RX1R II will give you more detail having its extra 29 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged WB750 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
