Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Ricoh PX to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older A1200 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
