That is a remarkable comparison. It would seem you have a new old camera
I just had a remarkable weekend, I took a few cameras on a little outing and the results of the WB210 had me ready to tuck in into a drawer, never to be used again, but it dawned upon me to look for a firmware update. I spent a heap of money on a Sony RX100 a while back because the WB210 didn't give me the results I wanted but things are different now. The WB210 has more zoom and fits easier in the pocket so now it can become my go everywhere camera.
It also suffers less from the shallow depth of field weakness that large sensor cameras have. I did a very casual thing about that on my weblog http://jimpicturetrail.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/rx100-and-wb210.html Plenty of times you just want to get a quick snapshot, and a nice large sensor mated with a bright lens can be a hindrance. I feel sorry for my RX100, despite it being good, for me it's handicapped by Sony programming that I just can't take to.
