Ricoh G900 vs Sigma SD10 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the G900 and SD10.

As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G900 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Ricoh G900 will give greater detail due to its extra 17MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent G900 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
