As you can see, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WG-30W because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Ricoh WG-30W will give greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more modern WG-30W is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
