The F80EXR because of its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Pentax WG-2 GPS will show greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged F80EXR will be behind in sensor tech.
