Canon SX60 HS vs Ricoh GR

Below, we are reviewing the Canon SX60 HS and Ricoh GR, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Ricoh. The sensor resolution of the SX60 HS (16MP) and the GR (16MP) is very close but the SX60 HS (1/2.3") and GR (APS-C) possess different sensor sizing.

The SX60 HS was released 18 months later than the GR making the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX60 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Ricoh GR being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the SX60 HS scores vs the GR for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX60 HS & Ricoh GR. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon SX60 HS Gallery & Ricoh GR Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to carry your camera often, you have to take into account its weight and volume.
