Casio EX-H30 vs Ricoh WG-6 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H30 and WG-6.

Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Ricoh WG-6 to give you extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older EX-H30 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
