Olympus FE-5010 vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing simply by researching specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-5010 and PX.
To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Ricoh PX to render extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-5010 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
