Ricoh PX vs Sony H400 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by researching specs. The visual here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the PX and H400.

All in all, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony H400 to provide you with extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The older PX will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
