Quite often, it is hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the WG-6 and T110.

Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Ricoh WG-6 to render more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher WG-6 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
