Ricoh CX1 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The graphic here should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the CX1 and Quattro H.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The CX1 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma Quattro H will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 36MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older CX1 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
