Nikon P340 vs Ricoh WG-M1 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing specifications. The pic here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the P340 and WG-M1.
Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The P340 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Ricoh WG-M1 will deliver greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged P340 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
