Ricoh WG-70 vs YI M1

Here, we are matching up the Ricoh WG-70 vs YI M1, former being a Waterproof while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Ricoh and YI. The sensor resolution of the WG-70 (16MP) and the M1 (20MP) is fairly close but the WG-70 (1/2.3") and M1 (Four Thirds) boast totally different sensor size.

The WG-70 was released 3 years later than the M1 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Ricoh WG-70 being a Compact camera and the YI M1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a thorough comparison, here is a short introduction of how the WG-70 grades versus the M1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Ricoh WG-70 & YI M1. The complete galleries are available at Ricoh WG-70 Gallery & YI M1 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you have at that time. The following is a front view scale comparison of the WG-70 compared to the M1.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the WG-70 and M1 is 91 and 87 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the WG-70 and M1.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WG-70 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the YI M1 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The fresher WG-70 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
