Typically, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The photograph underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the WG-1 and S2000.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Pentax WG-1 to give greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The fresher WG-1 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
