The SX740 HS was introduced 8 years after the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX740 HS being a Compact camera and the Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a detailed comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the SX740 HS grades against the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon SX740 HS Gallery and Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon SX740 HS features outside measurements of 110mm x 64mm x 40mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.6") and a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs) and the Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC has sizing of 114mm x 70mm x 44mm (4.5" x 2.8" x 1.7") having a weight of 355 grams (0.78 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you use at that time. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the SX740 HS and the GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX740 HS and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC is 88 and 85 respectively.

Normally, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing technical specs. The pic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX740 HS and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.

As you can tell, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX740 HS having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX740 HS will offer you more detail using its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX740 HS should have a benefit in sensor technology.
