Usually, it can be difficult to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The pic below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm XF1 and WG-1 GPS.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm XF1 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Pentax WG-1 GPS will give you extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm XF1 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
