The GR III was announced 5 years earlier than the ZV-1F which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go through a detailed comparison, below is a quick view of how the GR III scores versus the ZV-1F in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Ricoh GR III and Sony ZV-1F. The whole galleries are available at Ricoh GR III Gallery and Sony ZV-1F Gallery.

When you are planning to travel with your camera frequently, you will need to think about its weight and measurements.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions just by seeing technical specs. The picture here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GR III and ZV-1F.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GR III with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Ricoh GR III will produce more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged GR III will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
