Ricoh WG-6 has a 20.0MP 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Pentax WG-1 GPS has a 14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Ricoh WG-6's sensor provides 6MP more than Pentax WG-1 GPS'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 WG-6 and WG-1 GPS sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Ricoh WG-6 and Pentax WG-1 GPS Cameras
Ricoh WG-6 and Pentax WG-1 GPS have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Pentax WG-1 GPS has 46% larger pixel area (2.04µm2 vs 1.39µm2) compared to Ricoh WG-6, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
