Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC vs Sony NEX-6 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Normally, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC and NEX-6.
As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony NEX-6 will give extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
