Ricoh CX6 vs Sony WX300 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The graphic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the CX6 and WX300.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Sony WX300 to provide greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older CX6 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
