To sum up, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB800F with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp L will show greater detail because of its extra 45MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older WB800F will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
