Usually, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the WG-3 GPS and A33.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WG-3 GPS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Pentax WG-3 GPS will provide you with more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The fresher WG-3 GPS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
