Normally, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the XZ-1 and WG-70.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The XZ-1 using its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Ricoh WG-70 will give you greater detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged XZ-1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
