Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC vs Sony a5000 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The image below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC and a5000.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony a5000 will provide extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels.
