As you can see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The P7000 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Ricoh WG-M1 will give more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged P7000 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
