Ricoh G700SE vs Ricoh GR II Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The visual here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G700SE and GR II.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G700SE because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Ricoh GR II will resolve more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The older G700SE is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
