Nikon S570 vs Ricoh GR Digital IV Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by looking at specifications. The graphic below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S570 and GR Digital IV.
To sum up, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S570 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Nikon S570 will give you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older S570 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
