As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Ricoh WG-6 to provide more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR800 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
