Ricoh G700SE vs Ricoh WG-M1

Below, we are looking at the Ricoh G700SE versus Ricoh WG-M1, both Waterproof digital cameras and both are offered by Ricoh. The sensor resolution of the G700SE (12MP) and the WG-M1 (14MP) is fairly well matched and they possess the exact same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The G700SE was unveiled 4 years before the WG-M1 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving straight into a complete comparison, below is a short summation of how the G700SE matches up vs the WG-M1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Ricoh G700SE & Ricoh WG-M1. The full galleries are viewable at Ricoh G700SE Gallery & Ricoh WG-M1 Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to factor its weight and measurements. The Ricoh G700SE offers physical measurements of 117mm x 68mm x 32mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.3") with a weight of 307 grams (0.68 lbs) whilst the Ricoh WG-M1 has proportions of 66mm x 43mm x 89mm (2.6" x 1.7" x 3.5") with a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you choose at the time. Underneath is the front view dimension comparison of the G700SE and the WG-M1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the G700SE and WG-M1 is 88 and 91 respectively.

Typically, its tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic below will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the G700SE and WG-M1.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Ricoh WG-M1 to give you greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged G700SE is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
