What is the sensor size of the Ricoh GR II?
The Ricoh GR II is a digital camera that has an APS-C sensor at its core. This imager measures 23.7mm in width and 15.6mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 370 mm2.
The GR II provides an image resolution of 16.1 megapixels, based on 4 928 horizontal pixels and 3 264 vertical pixels.
Sensor size comparison with a film slide
The sensor diagonal measures 28.4mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 1.5. Hence, the Ricoh GR II is a crop-sensor camera, as its sensor is smaller than a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.
Sensor specs and performance
The table below compares the sensor specs of the Ricoh GR II to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
