Sometimes, it's tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching technical specs. The pic here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z29 and WG-6.

As you can tell, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z29 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Ricoh WG-6 will render more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z29 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
