Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the EX-S200 and GR is 96 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it is tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over technical specs. The image below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S200 and GR.

As you can tell, each of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-S200 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Ricoh GR will deliver extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged EX-S200 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
