To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S2950 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Ricoh GR III will render greater detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S2950 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
