Pentax E70 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Ricoh WG-5 GPS has a
16.0MP (1/2. ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Ricoh WG-5 GPS's sensor provides 6MP more than Pentax E70's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the E70 and WG-5 GPS sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Pentax E70 has a infx Larger sensor area than Ricoh WG-5 GPS. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
