Canon XC10 vs Ricoh G700SE

Below, we will be comparing the Canon XC10 vs Ricoh G700SE, former is a Large Sensor Compact while the latter is a Waterproof by brands Canon and Ricoh. The sensor resolution of the XC10 (12MP) and the G700SE (12MP) is relatively comparable but the XC10 (1") and G700SE (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor sizes.

Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through a spec sheet. The picture here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the XC10 and G700SE.

As you can see, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit not the same sensor sizes. The XC10 has the bigger sensor which is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler. The newer XC10 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
