Fujifilm S8300 vs Ricoh G900 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Ricoh G900 to deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S8300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
