Plainly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The WB800F having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sigma fp will render more detail because of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older WB800F will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
