Panasonic TS10 vs Ricoh WG-6 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TS10 and WG-6.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Ricoh WG-6 to render greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
