Sometimes, it is hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SX210 IS and WG-30W.
As you can see, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Ricoh WG-30W to give extra detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older SX210 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
