All in all, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The PX having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Ricoh PX will deliver extra detail because of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent PX should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
