Ricoh WG-4 GPS vs Sony RX10 IV

Lets look a bit more closely at the Ricoh WG-4 GPS versus Sony RX10 IV, one is a Waterproof and the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by brands Ricoh and Sony. The image resolution of the WG-4 GPS (16MP) and the RX10 IV (20MP) is relatively well matched but the WG-4 GPS (1/2.3") and RX10 IV (1") posses different sensor measurements.

The WG-4 GPS was revealed 4 years before the RX10 IV which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Ricoh WG-4 GPS being a Compact camera and the Sony RX10 IV being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief summation of how the WG-4 GPS grades vs the RX10 IV when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Ricoh WG-4 GPS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 IV. The full galleries are available at Ricoh WG-4 GPS Gallery and Sony RX10 IV Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera often, you'll have to consider its weight and dimensions. The Ricoh WG-4 GPS comes with exterior dimensions of 124mm x 64mm x 33mm (4.9" x 2.5" x 1.3") with a weight of 235 grams (0.52 lbs) while the Sony RX10 IV has dimensions of 133mm x 94mm x 145mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 5.7") with a weight of 1095 grams (2.41 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the WG-4 GPS against the RX10 IV.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the WG-4 GPS and RX10 IV is 90 and 52 respectively.

In many cases, it can be difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizes just by reading through technical specs. The pic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the WG-4 GPS and RX10 IV.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The WG-4 GPS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony RX10 IV will resolve extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged WG-4 GPS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
