Fujifilm S5 Pro vs Ricoh WG-5 GPS

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Fujifilm S5 Pro versus Ricoh WG-5 GPS, one being a Pro DSLR and the latter is a Waterproof by rivals FujiFilm and Ricoh. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the Fujifilm S5 Pro (6MP) and WG-5 GPS (16MP) and the Fujifilm S5 Pro (APS-C) and WG-5 GPS (1/2.3") have different sensor measurements.

The Fujifilm S5 Pro was introduced 8 years earlier than the WG-5 GPS and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm S5 Pro being a Large SLR camera and the Ricoh WG-5 GPS being a Compact camera.

Before delving into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the Fujifilm S5 Pro scores against the WG-5 GPS for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro and Ricoh WG-5 GPS. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm S5 Pro Gallery and Ricoh WG-5 GPS Gallery.

If you're looking to lug around your camera, you will need to consider its weight and size.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have chosen at the time. Below is a front view physical size comparison of the Fujifilm S5 Pro against the WG-5 GPS.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the Fujifilm S5 Pro and WG-5 GPS is 55 and 90 respectively.

Generally, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements just by looking through specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S5 Pro and WG-5 GPS.

As you can plainly see, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S5 Pro using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Ricoh WG-5 GPS will render extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S5 Pro will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
