Ricoh GR II vs Sigma SD10

Following is a extensive analysis of the Ricoh GR II versus Sigma SD10, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Advanced DSLR by rivals Ricoh and Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the GR II (16MP) and SD10 (3MP) but both cameras offer the identical sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The GR II was released 11 years after the SD10 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Ricoh GR II being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sigma SD10 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before going into a in depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the GR II grades versus the SD10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Ricoh GR II and Sigma SD10. The complete galleries are viewable at Ricoh GR II Gallery and Sigma SD10 Gallery.

If you are going to carry around your camera often, you need to factor in its weight and size.

More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GR II and SD10.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Ricoh GR II to offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger GR II should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
