FujiFilm S2500HD vs Ricoh GR Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading technical specs. The visual below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S2500HD and GR.
As you can tell, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S2500HD due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Ricoh GR will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The older S2500HD is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
