Ricoh GR Digital IV vs Sigma Quattro H

Below is a in depth assessment of the Ricoh GR Digital IV and Sigma Quattro H, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Ricoh and Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the GR Digital IV (10MP) and Quattro H (45MP) and the GR Digital IV (1/1.7") and Quattro H (APS-H) provide totally different sensor sizing.

The GR Digital IV was announced 5 years prior to the Quattro H and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Ricoh GR Digital IV being a Compact camera and the Sigma Quattro H being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the GR Digital IV grades vs the Quattro H with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Ricoh GR Digital IV and Sigma sd Quattro H. The whole galleries are viewable at Ricoh GR Digital IV Gallery and Sigma Quattro H Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and volume.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the GR Digital IV and Quattro H is 92 and 78 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the GR Digital IV and Quattro H.

Clearly, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GR Digital IV using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will offer you more detail with its extra 35 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures more aggressively. The older GR Digital IV is going to be behind in sensor technology.
