Ricoh PX vs Samsung WB250F Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes only by reading a spec sheet. The pic below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the PX and WB250F.

As you can see, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Ricoh PX to offer you more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged PX is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
