Canon SX70 HS vs Ricoh WG-70

The following is a complete overview of the Canon SX70 HS and Ricoh WG-70, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Waterproof by rivals Canon and Ricoh. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the SX70 HS (20MP) and WG-70 (16MP) but they possess the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The SX70 HS was released 16 months prior to the WG-70 which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX70 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Ricoh WG-70 being a Compact camera.

Before delving straight into a thorough comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the SX70 HS matches up versus the WG-70 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

All in all, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should count on the Canon SX70 HS to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged SX70 HS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
