Ricoh G700SE vs Ricoh GR

Its time to look much closer at the Ricoh G700SE and Ricoh GR, one is a Waterproof and the other is a Large Sensor Compact and they are both built by Ricoh. There is a big difference among the sensor resolutions of the G700SE (12MP) and GR (16MP) and the G700SE (1/2.3") and GR (APS-C) offer totally different sensor dimensions.

The G700SE was announced 3 years before the GR which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Ricoh G700SE being a Compact camera and the Ricoh GR being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving right into a in depth comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the G700SE matches up versus the GR in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Ricoh G700SE and Ricoh GR. The whole galleries are viewable at Ricoh G700SE Gallery and Ricoh GR Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera frequently, you'll have to consider its weight and measurements. The Ricoh G700SE features external measurements of 117mm x 68mm x 32mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.3") having a weight of 307 grams (0.68 lbs) and the Ricoh GR has proportions of 117mm x 61mm x 35mm (4.6" x 2.4" x 1.4") with a weight of 245 grams (0.54 lbs).

Take a look at the Ricoh G700SE and Ricoh GR in the new Camera with Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you choose during that time. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the G700SE versus the GR.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the G700SE and GR is 88 and 90 respectively.

In many cases, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching specifications. The picture here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the G700SE and GR.

To sum up, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G700SE using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Ricoh GR will provide you with more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged G700SE will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
