In many cases, its difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The picture below may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the L110 and WG-2 GPS.

As you have seen, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Pentax WG-2 GPS to give more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged L110 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
