Plainly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GM1 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Ricoh GR III will provide extra detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged GM1 will be behind in sensor innovation.
