The K-01 was brought out 3 years prior to the WG-M1 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Pentax K-01 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Ricoh WG-M1 being a Compact camera.

Before we go in to a full comparison, below is a short summary of how the K-01 scores against the WG-M1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Pentax K-01 & Ricoh WG-M1. The entire galleries are available at Pentax K-01 Gallery & Ricoh WG-M1 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to travel with your camera often, you should factor in its weight and size.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the K-01 and WG-M1 is 76 and 91 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the K-01 and WG-M1.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The K-01 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Pentax K-01 will give more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged K-01 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
