Ricoh CX6 vs Sony H55 Sensor Comparison
Generally, its tough to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing specs. The graphic underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the CX6 and H55.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony H55 to produce more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The younger CX6 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
