Sometimes, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The graphic below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-4030 and WG-70.

To sum up, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Ricoh WG-70 to render greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older FE-4030 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
