Ricoh WG-4 vs Sigma Quattro

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Ricoh WG-4 versus Sigma Quattro, one is a Waterproof and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Ricoh and Sigma. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the WG-4 (16MP) and Quattro (29MP) and the WG-4 (1/2.3") and Quattro (APS-C) have different sensor measurements.

The WG-4 was introduced 24 months earlier than the Quattro which makes them a generation away from one another. Both cameras feature different body design with the Ricoh WG-4 being a Compact camera and the Sigma Quattro being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a complete comparison, here is a simple summary of how the WG-4 scores versus the Quattro with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Ricoh WG-4 and Sigma sd Quattro. The whole galleries are viewable at Ricoh WG-4 Gallery and Sigma Quattro Gallery.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are employing at that moment. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the WG-4 vs the Quattro.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the WG-4 and Quattro is 90 and 63 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes simply by checking out technical specs. The picture underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WG-4 and Quattro.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WG-4 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sigma Quattro will show greater detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged WG-4 will be behind in sensor tech.
