Olympus E-PL9 vs Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes only by researching specifications. The picture here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-PL9 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-PL9 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-PL9 will result in more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer E-PL9 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
