Ricoh G900 vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizing only by viewing specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G900 and Quattro.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The G900 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sigma Quattro will render more detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger G900 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
