Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-FS10 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Ricoh GR will produce greater detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older EX-FS10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
