Typically, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing technical specs. The visual here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the G700SE and WG-5 GPS.

As you can tell, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Ricoh WG-5 GPS to produce greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older G700SE will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
