Canon D10 vs Ricoh PX

Let's look more closely at the Canon D10 vs Ricoh PX, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by rivals Canon and Ricoh. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the D10 (12MP) and PX (16MP) but both cameras posses the identical sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The D10 was announced 3 years before the PX and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the D10 grades vs the PX when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot D10 and Ricoh PX. The whole galleries are provided at Canon D10 Gallery and Ricoh PX Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry your camera often, you have to take into account its weight and volume. The Canon D10 features external measurements of 104mm x 67mm x 49mm (4.1" x 2.6" x 1.9") accompanied by a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs) and the Ricoh PX has sizing of 100mm x 55mm x 21mm (3.9" x 2.2" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 156 grams (0.34 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising at the time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the D10 compared to the PX.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the D10 and PX is 89 and 95 respectively.

Normally, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through specifications. The graphic below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D10 and PX.

To sum up, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Ricoh PX to give greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older D10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
