FujiFilm T300 vs Ricoh GR II Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through specifications. The image underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the T300 and GR II.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The T300 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Ricoh GR II will produce extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged T300 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
