All in all, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm S3 Pro with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Pentax WG-3 GPS will give you extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S3 Pro is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
