Typically, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-100 and PX.

As you can see, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-100 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Ricoh PX will result in greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern EX-100 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
