Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the F70EXR and WG-20.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The F70EXR featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Ricoh WG-20 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older F70EXR will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
