Fujifilm XP200 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Pentax WG-1 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the XP200 and WG-1 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm XP200 and Pentax WG-1 Cameras
Fujifilm XP200 and Pentax WG-1 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 Pentax WG-1 has 15% larger pixel area (2.04µm 2 vs 1.76µm 2 ) compared to Fujifilm XP200, 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
Fujifilm XP200
or the
Pentax WG-1 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
