As you can see, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M341 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 will render more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The older M341 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
