Olympus SZ-10 vs Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor sizes simply by viewing specifications. The pic underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SZ-10 and GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5.
Plainly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SZ-10 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 will result in greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged SZ-10 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
