The HS10 was brought out 6 years earlier than the GR II and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the FujiFilm HS10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Ricoh GR II being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief summation of how the HS10 grades against the GR II for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Typically, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic below will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the HS10 and GR II.

As you can see, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The HS10 because of its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Ricoh GR II will result in extra detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older HS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
