Ricoh WG-6 vs Ricoh WG-70 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, its hard to see the difference between sensor measurements simply by going over technical specs. The graphic here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the WG-6 and WG-70.
As you have seen, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Ricoh WG-6 to offer you more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older WG-6 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
