Canon M50 vs Ricoh WG-30

Let's look more closely at the Canon M50 versus Ricoh WG-30, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Waterproof by companies Canon and Ricoh. There is a huge difference between the sensor resolutions of the M50 (24MP) and WG-30 (16MP) and the M50 (APS-C) and WG-30 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor sizing.

The M50 was brought out 3 years later than the WG-30 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Canon M50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Ricoh WG-30 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a full comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the M50 grades against the WG-30 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M50 and Ricoh WG-30. The entire galleries are available at Canon M50 Gallery and Ricoh WG-30 Gallery.

In case you're intending to lug around your camera, you will have to consider its weight and size.

Usually, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The visual here will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M50 and WG-30.

As you can see, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M50 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon M50 will offer you more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern M50 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
