In many cases, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by checking out technical specs. The pic underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the WB800F and ZX1.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB800F having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Zeiss ZX1 will produce extra detail using its extra 21 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged WB800F will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
