Canon SX150 IS vs Ricoh GR III

Lets look more closely at the Canon SX150 IS versus Ricoh GR III, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Ricoh. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the SX150 IS (14MP) and GR III (24MP) and the SX150 IS (1/2.3") and GR III (APS-C) offer different sensor measurements.

The SX150 IS was revealed 7 years before the GR III and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Canon SX150 IS being a Compact camera and the Ricoh GR III being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the SX150 IS matches up versus the GR III in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you are looking to lug around your camera regularly, you have to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon SX150 IS enjoys outside dimensions of 113mm x 73mm x 46mm (4.4" x 2.9" x 1.8") having a weight of 306 grams (0.67 lbs) while the Ricoh GR III has measurements of 109mm x 62mm x 33mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.3") with a weight of 257 grams (0.57 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the SX150 IS compared to the GR III.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the SX150 IS and GR III is 86 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing technical specs. The graphic below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX150 IS and GR III.

As you can tell, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX150 IS with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Ricoh GR III will deliver extra detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older SX150 IS is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
