Ricoh PX vs Sony W800 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching specs. The graphic below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the PX and W800.
All in all, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can expect to see the Sony W800 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older PX will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
