Canon SX60 HS has a
16.0MP 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 6 processor. On the other hand, Ricoh WG-M1 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the SX60 HS and WG-M1 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon SX60 HS and Ricoh WG-M1 Cameras
Canon SX60 HS and Ricoh WG-M1 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Ricoh WG-M1 has 1% larger pixel area (2.01µm 2 vs 1.98µm 2 ) compared to Canon SX60 HS, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon SX60 HS
or the
Ricoh WG-M1 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
