Ricoh GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC vs Sony RX100 VA Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading specifications. The image underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC and RX100 VA.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony RX100 VA will deliver more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels.
