Ricoh WG-70 vs Sigma fp L

Lets look a bit more closely at the Ricoh WG-70 versus Sigma fp L, former is a Waterproof while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Ricoh and Sigma. There exists a considerable gap between the image resolutions of the WG-70 (16MP) and fp L (61MP) and the WG-70 (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) have totally different sensor measurements.

The WG-70 was revealed 13 months before the fp L which makes them a generation away from one another. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Ricoh WG-70 being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight to a complete comparison, here is a simple overview of how the WG-70 matches up against the fp L with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Ricoh WG-70 & Sigma fp L. The full galleries are available at Ricoh WG-70 Gallery & Sigma fp L Gallery.

For those who are going to travel with your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you choose during that time. Below is a front view scale comparison of the WG-70 against the fp L.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the WG-70 and fp L is 91 and 83 respectively.

More often than not, it's tough to see the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specifications. The pic here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WG-70 and fp L.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WG-70 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp L will resolve more detail because of its extra 45 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged WG-70 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
