Pentax WG-10 vs Sony W570 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The picture underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the WG-10 and W570.
Clearly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony W570 to offer you more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels.
