The G700SE was released 5 years prior to the A7R II which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Ricoh G700SE being a Compact camera and the Sony A7R II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short view of how the G700SE grades versus the A7R II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Sometimes, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The image here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the G700SE and A7R II.

Plainly, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G700SE because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Sony A7R II will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 30 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged G700SE will be behind in sensor innovation.
