In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-S5 and PX.

As you have seen, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Ricoh PX to resolve more detail utilizing its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
