Kodak C135 vs Ricoh WG-5 GPS Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through specs. The visual underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the C135 and WG-5 GPS.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Ricoh WG-5 GPS to produce extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images much more aggressively. The older C135 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
