Ricoh CX6 vs Sony HX350 Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reading specs. The picture below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the CX6 and HX350.
All in all, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sony HX350 to deliver more detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged CX6 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
