Usually, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by going through a spec sheet. The image here might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A1000 and WG-1 GPS.

As you can see, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Nikon A1000 to produce greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern A1000 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
