Olympus E-M1X vs Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The pic here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M1X and GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5.
As you have seen, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Olympus E-M1X will result in extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger E-M1X is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
