Olympus 8010 vs Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by going over technical specs. The graphic below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 8010 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
As you can tell, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 8010 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus 8010 will deliver more detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively.
