Typically, its tough to see the difference between sensor sizing just by going over specs. The photograph here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SX210 IS and WG-6.
All in all, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Ricoh WG-6 to deliver greater detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older SX210 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
