To sum up, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Ricoh PX to resolve greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z30 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
