Generally, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by going over specs. The photograph here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR15 and WG-10.
All in all, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Casio EX-ZR15 to offer you more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The older EX-ZR15 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
