FujiFilm AX350 vs Ricoh GR Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by reading through specifications. The pic underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the AX350 and GR.

To sum up, both of the cameras have the same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor sizes. The AX350 comes with the tinier sensor which is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier. The more aged AX350 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
