Clearly, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The GR III using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Ricoh GR III will show extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger GR III provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
