Quite often, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by checking out technical specs. The pic below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the WG-6 and S2000.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Ricoh WG-6 to show more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger WG-6 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
