Olympus 7000 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Ricoh CX2 has a
9.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Smooth Imaging Engine IV processor.
Below you can see the 7000 and CX2 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Olympus 7000 and Ricoh CX2 Cameras
Olympus 7000 and Ricoh CX2 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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
Olympus 7000
or the
Ricoh CX2 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
