Kodak Sport vs Ricoh G900 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over technical specs. The pic here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Sport and G900.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Ricoh G900 to deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged Sport is going to be behind in sensor tech.
