The A1400 was unveiled 5 years earlier than the G900 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a quick summation of how the A1400 matches up against the G900 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot A1400 and Ricoh G900. The full galleries are available at Canon A1400 Gallery and Ricoh G900 Gallery.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes just by checking a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the A1400 and G900.

As you can see, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Ricoh G900 to resolve greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged A1400 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
