Olympus 7010 vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 7010 and PX.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Ricoh PX to provide you with extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The older 7010 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
