Olympus FE-5020 vs Ricoh PX

Below, we will be comparing the Olympus FE-5020 versus Ricoh PX, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by companies Olympus and Ricoh. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the FE-5020 (12MP) and PX (16MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The FE-5020 was announced 3 years prior to the PX and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting in to a in depth comparison, below is a concise overview of how the FE-5020 grades versus the PX with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-5020 and Ricoh PX. The whole galleries are available at Olympus FE-5020 Gallery and Ricoh PX Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FE-5020 and PX is 95 and 95 respectively.

Quite often, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through technical specs. The graphic underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-5020 and PX.

As you can tell, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Ricoh PX to give greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-5020 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
