Olympus E-M10 IV vs Ricoh WG-30

Lets examine more closely at the Olympus E-M10 IV versus Ricoh WG-30, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Waterproof by competitors Olympus and Ricoh. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the E-M10 IV (20MP) and WG-30 (16MP) and the E-M10 IV (Four Thirds) and WG-30 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor measurements.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Following is the front view proportions comparison of the E-M10 IV compared to the WG-30.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-M10 IV and WG-30 is 81 and 91 respectively.

Quite often, it is very difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over specifications. The pic below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 IV and WG-30.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 IV featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus E-M10 IV will offer you greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent E-M10 IV provides a benefit in sensor technology.
