Olympus E-M10 IV vs Ricoh G900

Following is a thorough review of the Olympus E-M10 IV versus Ricoh G900, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Waterproof by rivals Olympus and Ricoh. The sensor resolution of the E-M10 IV (20MP) and the G900 (20MP) is fairly close but the E-M10 IV (Four Thirds) and G900 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor size.

The E-M10 IV was manufactured 2 years after the G900 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-M10 IV being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Ricoh G900 being a Compact camera.

Before getting straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a short summation of how the E-M10 IV grades versus the G900 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

In many cases, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M10 IV and G900.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide the same MP but not the same sensor sizes. The E-M10 IV uses the larger sensor which will make obtaining bokeh easier. The younger E-M10 IV is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
