As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB800F due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony RX1R II will give you more detail having its extra 26 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The older WB800F is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
