Ricoh G900 vs Ricoh PX Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G900 and PX.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Ricoh G900 to produce extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern G900 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
