Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The graphic below may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm SL300 and G900.

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Ricoh G900 to give more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm SL300 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
