Pentax Q vs Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, its difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The pic below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Q and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
Plainly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Q featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Pentax Q will show greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more recent Q will have an edge in sensor tech.
