More often than not, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions simply by going through specs. The image underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the PX and SD1.

All in all, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The PX using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Ricoh PX will show greater detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent PX should have an advantage in sensor tech.
