All in all, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Ricoh PX to deliver extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger ZS50 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
