Canon S90 vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S90 and PX.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S90 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Ricoh PX will offer you more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S90 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
