To sum up, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-H20G with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Ricoh GR will give more detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-H20G is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
