Ricoh CX3 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the CX3 and H200.

Clearly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony H200 to give you more detail using its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older CX3 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
