Oftentimes, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements only by reviewing technical specs. The visual below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S5 Pro and GR II.

As you have seen, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Ricoh GR II to offer you more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S5 Pro is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
