Olympus VR-320 vs Ricoh GXR GR Lens A12 28mm F2.5 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by going through a spec sheet. The image here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the VR-320 and GXR GR Lens A12 28mm F2.5.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The VR-320 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Olympus VR-320 will provide extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The newer VR-320 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
