Ricoh G900 II has a
20.0MP 1/2.3 inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm X half has a
18.0MP 1″ (11.7 x 8.8 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the G900 II and X half sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Ricoh G900 II and Fujifilm X half Cameras
As seen above, Fujifilm X half has a 3.7x Larger sensor area than Ricoh G900 II. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in 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
Ricoh G900 II
or the
Fujifilm X half ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(1/2.3 inch versus 1″ ),
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.
