More often than not, it can be tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FC100 and WG-10.
As you can see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Pentax WG-10 to result in greater detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older EX-FC100 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
