Casio EX-FH25 vs Ricoh WG-70

On this page, we will be reviewing the Casio EX-FH25 vs Ricoh WG-70, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Waterproof by companies Casio and Ricoh. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the EX-FH25 (10MP) and WG-70 (16MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The EX-FH25 was brought out 10 years earlier than the WG-70 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Casio EX-FH25 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Ricoh WG-70 being a Compact camera.

Before diving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the EX-FH25 scores against the WG-70 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

More often than not, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FH25 and WG-70.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Ricoh WG-70 to give you more detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older EX-FH25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
