Our Verdict

RICOH GR III

Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A

The RICOH GR III and the Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS A aren't exactly the same type of product, even if they're both small point-and-shoot cameras. The Canon includes a zoom lens, which will give you more flexibility, but that's pretty much the only advantage on the Canon's side. The RICOH's APS-C sensor produces much more detailed photos and includes RAW support, giving you a ton more leeway if you want to edit your pictures.
