Normally, its hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes just by checking specs. The image here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD4500 IS and WG-M1.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Ricoh WG-M1 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged SD4500 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
