Quite often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes only by looking through a spec sheet. The image here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR10 and WG-3 GPS.

Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Pentax WG-3 GPS to render greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
