Ricoh G900 has a 20.0MP 1/2.3 (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon 1D MII N has a 8.0MP APS-H (28.7 x 19.1 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Ricoh G900's sensor provides 12MP more than Canon 1D MII N's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the G900 and 1D MII N sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Ricoh G900 and Canon 1D MII N Cameras
As seen above, Canon 1D MII N has a 19.5x Larger sensor area than Ricoh G900. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
