Canon G9 X II vs Ricoh WG-6

Below, we are contrasting the Canon G9 X II versus Ricoh WG-6, one being a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Waterproof by rivals Canon and Ricoh. The sensor resolution of the G9 X II (20MP) and the WG-6 (20MP) is very similar but the G9 X II (1") and WG-6 (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor measurements.
