Canon 750D vs Ricoh WG-4

Following is a thorough assessment of the Canon 750D and Ricoh WG-4, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Waterproof by manufacturers Canon and Ricoh. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the 750D (24MP) and WG-4 (16MP) and the 750D (APS-C) and WG-4 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor sizing.

Generally, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes just by going over technical specs. The pic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 750D and WG-4.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 750D with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 750D will deliver greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The fresher 750D is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
