Pentax I-10 vs Ricoh WG-80 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The pic below might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the I-10 and WG-80.
To sum up, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Ricoh WG-80 to offer you greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged I-10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
