Panasonic FZ80D has a
18.0MP 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Venus Engine 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 FZ80D and WG-M1 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic FZ80D and Ricoh WG-M1 Cameras
Panasonic FZ80D 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 28% larger pixel area (2.01µm 2 vs 1.56µm 2 ) compared to Panasonic FZ80D, 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
Panasonic FZ80D
or the
Ricoh WG-M1 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
