Pentax WG-10 vs Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's hard to see the difference between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The picture here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the WG-10 and GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WG-10 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 will resolve more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more modern WG-10 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
