Casio EX-10 vs Ricoh WG-30W Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing just by reading a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-10 and WG-30W.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-10 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Ricoh WG-30W will offer extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older EX-10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
