Typically, it's difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The picture here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the A495 and PX.

To sum up, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Ricoh PX to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged A495 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
