Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

Often, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing specifications. The image below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC and Quattro.

Plainly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will render more detail using its extra 19 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
