As you can plainly see, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G95 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Ricoh GR III will give extra detail having an extra 3.7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern G95 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
