The GR was released 2 years later than the NX100 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Ricoh GR being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Samsung NX100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief summary of how the GR matches up versus the NX100 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Often, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the GR and NX100.

Clearly, both cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Ricoh GR to give you more detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent GR will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
