Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching a spec sheet. The visual below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the WG-10 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
Clearly, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The WG-10 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Pentax WG-10 will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The newer WG-10 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
