More often than not, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading specs. The pic underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-3010 and WG-30W.

All in all, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Ricoh WG-30W to offer greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-3010 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
