Let's take a more detailed look at the Nikon D70s and Ricoh WG-30W, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Waterproof by rivals Nikon and Ricoh. There is a sizeable difference among the image resolutions of the D70s (6MP) and WG-30W (16MP) and the D70s (APS-C) and WG-30W (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizes.

The D70s was revealed 10 years earlier than the WG-30W which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Nikon D70s being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Ricoh WG-30W being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the D70s grades vs the WG-30W when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, it can be difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions just by looking through a spec sheet. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D70s and WG-30W.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D70s having a larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Ricoh WG-30W will result in more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged D70s will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
