Canon SX130 IS vs Ricoh WG-4 GPS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it's tough to see the gap between sensor sizes just by checking technical specs. The picture below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX130 IS and WG-4 GPS.
As you have seen, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Ricoh WG-4 GPS to resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged SX130 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
