The SX600 HS was revealed 4 years later than the GR Digital III and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting straight to a detailed comparison, here is a short overview of how the SX600 HS grades versus the GR Digital III when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot SX600 HS and Ricoh GR Digital III. The full galleries are available at Canon SX600 HS Gallery and Ricoh GR Digital III Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to lug around your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and volume.

Quite often, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX600 HS and GR Digital III.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX600 HS using its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Canon SX600 HS will provide more detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent SX600 HS should have an advantage in sensor tech.
