Panasonic FP8 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Venus Engine V processor. On the other hand, Ricoh WG-4 GPS has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the FP8 and WG-4 GPS sensor size comparison.

Panasonic FP8 and Ricoh WG-4 GPS have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Panasonic FP8
or the
Ricoh WG-4 GPS ,
including hyperfocal distance.
