Panasonic FH2 vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking specs. The image here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FH2 and PX.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Ricoh PX to resolve extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged FH2 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
