Ricoh G700SE has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Canon ELPH 135 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Digic 4+ processor.
Below you can see the G700SE and ELPH 135 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Ricoh G700SE and Canon ELPH 135 Cameras
Ricoh G700SE and Canon ELPH 135 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 G700SE has 32% larger pixel area compared to Canon ELPH 135, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence 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
Ricoh G700SE
or the
Canon ELPH 135 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
