Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specifications. The picture underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GR III and WB2200F.

Plainly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GR III with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Ricoh GR III will render extra detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent GR III provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
