Canon N vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading specifications. The image underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the N and PX.

To sum up, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Ricoh PX to deliver greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The younger N will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
