Sometimes, its tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at specifications. The graphic below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the F300EXR and WG-1 GPS.

Plainly, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Pentax WG-1 GPS will give greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The older F300EXR is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
