As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S200EXR with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Ricoh PX will give more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged S200EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
