Canon R50 vs Ricoh G900 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The visual below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the R50 and G900.
As you can see, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R50 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R50 will result in greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern R50 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
