Olympus E-PL9 vs Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes just by viewing technical specs. The picture below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-PL9 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.
As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-PL9 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-PL9 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger E-PL9 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
