All in all, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G700SE because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Ricoh G700SE will give you more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger G700SE will have an edge in sensor technology.
