As you can see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Ricoh WG-4 GPS to render greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer WG-4 GPS will have an edge in sensor innovation.
