Fujifilm XP50 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Ricoh G900 II has a
20.0MP 1/2.3 inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Ricoh G900 II's sensor provides 6MP more than Fujifilm XP50's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the XP50 and G900 II sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm XP50 and Ricoh G900 II Cameras
Fujifilm XP50 and Ricoh G900 II 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.
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 XP50
or the
Ricoh G900 II ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(1/2.3-inch versus 1/2.3 inch),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
