Plainly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Ricoh WG-6 to result in greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WG-6 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
