All in all, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZS10 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Ricoh GR will render more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-ZS10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
