In many cases, it can be difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX230 HS and WG-4.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Ricoh WG-4 to offer greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged SX230 HS is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
