The sensor resolution of WG-3 GPS is greater than that of EasyShare Sport. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the first camera (WG-3 GPS), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Pentax WG-3 GPS, the maximum ISO is greater by 5150. WG-3 GPS has image stabilization(Sensor-shift), EasyShare Sport doesn’t, it is a big minus. Pentax WG-3 GPS has a larger 3-inch Fixed screen, the other camera has a 2-inch Fixed screen.
