Ricoh WG-1000 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Panasonic TS1 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the WG-1000 and TS1 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Ricoh WG-1000 and Panasonic TS1 Cameras
Ricoh WG-1000 and Panasonic TS1 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
Ricoh WG-1000
or the
Panasonic TS1 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
