The G700SE was unveiled 8 years before the G900 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the G700SE scores vs the G900 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Ricoh G700SE & Ricoh G900. The full galleries are viewable at Ricoh G700SE Gallery & Ricoh G900 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera often, you need to consider its weight and measurements.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing specs. The visual underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the G700SE and G900.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Ricoh G900 to offer greater detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older G700SE is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
