Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony QX10 is significantly lighter (142g ) than the Ricoh G900 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G900, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the QX10.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Ricoh G900's 3.00" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony QX10's screen.
