Normally, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the FH1 and G900.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Ricoh G900 to resolve greater detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The older FH1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
