Normally, it is tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S110 and WG-70.

As you have seen, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S110 using its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Ricoh WG-70 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older S110 will be behind in sensor innovation.
