The SZ10 was unveiled 3 years after the WG-1 GPS which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple overview of how the SZ10 scores vs the WG-1 GPS for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-SZ10 and Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS. The full galleries are available at Panasonic SZ10 Gallery and Pentax WG-1 GPS Gallery.

Usually, its difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SZ10 and WG-1 GPS.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic SZ10 to give you extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher SZ10 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
