The G7 X MII was revealed 2 years after the GR which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the G7 X MII scores vs the GR with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II and Ricoh GR. The full galleries are viewable at Canon G7 X MII Gallery and Ricoh GR Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera often, you will need to factor its weight and proportions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you select at that time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the G7 X MII against the GR.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the G7 X MII and GR is 88 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking technical specs. The image below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G7 X MII and GR.

As you can tell, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G7 X MII using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon G7 X MII will give you more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The newer G7 X MII provides an edge in sensor technology.
