As you can plainly see, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-H15 featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Ricoh GR will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-H15 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
