Ricoh CX2 vs Ricoh G900

Lets look much closer at the Ricoh CX2 versus Ricoh G900, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Waterproof and they are both manufactured by Ricoh. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the CX2 (9MP) and G900 (20MP) but both cameras provide the same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The CX2 was released 9 years earlier than the G900 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a simple view of how the CX2 scores versus the G900 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Ricoh CX2 and Ricoh G900. The complete galleries are available at Ricoh CX2 Gallery and Ricoh G900 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to travel with your camera regularly, you have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Ricoh CX2 has got exterior measurements of 102mm x 58mm x 29mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.1") along with a weight of 185 grams (0.41 lbs) whilst the Ricoh G900 has dimensions of 118mm x 66mm x 33mm (4.6" x 2.6" x 1.3") along with a weight of 247 grams (0.54 lbs).

Look at the Ricoh CX2 versus Ricoh G900 in the latest Camera and Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilising at that time. Below is a front view measurement comparison of the CX2 vs the G900.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the CX2 and G900 is 93 and 89 respectively.

Typically, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The image below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the CX2 and G900.

As you can see, both of those cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Ricoh G900 to show more detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged CX2 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
