Olympus XZ-10 vs Ricoh WG-6 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing specs. The image here will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the XZ-10 and WG-6.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Ricoh WG-6 to render extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged XZ-10 will be behind in sensor technology.
