Canon SX610 HS vs Ricoh GR Digital IV

Here, we are analyzing the Canon SX610 HS versus Ricoh GR Digital IV, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Canon and Ricoh. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the SX610 HS (20MP) and GR Digital IV (10MP) and the SX610 HS (1/2.3") and GR Digital IV (1/1.7") provide totally different sensor sizing.

The SX610 HS was manufactured 3 years after the GR Digital IV which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the SX610 HS grades versus the GR Digital IV with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX610 HS & Ricoh GR Digital IV. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon SX610 HS Gallery & Ricoh GR Digital IV Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and volume. The Canon SX610 HS has outside dimensions of 105mm x 61mm x 27mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 191 grams (0.42 lbs) and the Ricoh GR Digital IV has sizing of 109mm x 59mm x 33mm (4.3" x 2.3" x 1.3") with a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Below is a front view measurement comparison of the SX610 HS compared to the GR Digital IV.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX610 HS and GR Digital IV is 93 and 92 respectively.

Normally, it can be tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading through technical specs. The pic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX610 HS and GR Digital IV.

As you can tell, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX610 HS featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Canon SX610 HS will give you greater detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger SX610 HS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
