In many cases, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The graphic here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S810c and G900.

As you have seen, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Ricoh G900 to offer more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images more aggressively. The older S810c is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
