As you have seen, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Ricoh WG-4 GPS to offer extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older Sport is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
