FujiFilm F70EXR vs Ricoh WG-5 GPS

Lets look a bit more closely at the FujiFilm F70EXR versus Ricoh WG-5 GPS, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Waterproof by brands FujiFilm and Ricoh. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the F70EXR (10MP) and WG-5 GPS (16MP) and the F70EXR (1/2") and WG-5 GPS (1/2.3") use different sensor dimensions.

Quite often, its tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by going over specs. The graphic here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the F70EXR and WG-5 GPS.

All in all, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The F70EXR featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Ricoh WG-5 GPS will offer more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older F70EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
