Olympus 7000 vs Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The visual here will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 7000 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 7000 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Olympus 7000 will give extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The older 7000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
