Casio EX-G1 vs Ricoh WG-30

The following is a in depth comparison of the Casio EX-G1 versus Ricoh WG-30, former is a Ultracompact while the latter is a Waterproof by competitors Casio and Ricoh. There exists a substantial gap among the image resolutions of the EX-G1 (12MP) and WG-30 (16MP) but they use the exact same sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The EX-G1 was announced 5 years earlier than the WG-30 which is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Casio EX-G1 being a Ultracompact camera and the Ricoh WG-30 being a Compact camera.

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a simple summation of how the EX-G1 matches up against the WG-30 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

If you are going to travel with your camera, you have to consider its weight and volume.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have during that time. Below is the front view physical size comparison of the EX-G1 against the WG-30.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the EX-G1 and WG-30 is 94 and 91 respectively.

Quite often, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing technical specs. The pic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-G1 and WG-30.

As you can tell, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Ricoh WG-30 to render greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 will be behind in sensor innovation.
