More often than not, its hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S3200 and GR II.

To sum up, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S3200 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Ricoh GR II will deliver greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S3200 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
