Canon 5D MIII vs Ricoh WG-30W Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specs. The picture here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5D MIII and WG-30W.
All in all, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5D MIII using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 5D MIII will provide extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged 5D MIII will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
