The EX-FS10 was released 7 years earlier than the GR II which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Casio EX-FS10 being a Ultracompact camera and the Ricoh GR II being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the EX-FS10 scores versus the GR II in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

In many cases, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions simply by seeing technical specs. The image underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FS10 and GR II.

As you can tell, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The EX-FS10 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Ricoh GR II will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-FS10 will be behind in sensor tech.
