Casio EX-ZR10 vs Ricoh GR Digital IV Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements just by viewing specifications. The visual here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR10 and GR Digital IV.

Plainly, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR10 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Casio EX-ZR10 will render extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels.
