Fujifilm x100s vs ricoh gr ii?

Both are fixed-lens APS-C compacts with about 16 megapixels and no stabilisation, so the choice comes down to field of view.

The Fujifilm X100S has a 23mm f/2 lens, which frames like 34mm on full frame. That's a natural, slightly tighter view, and f/2 gives you more background blur. It's the one I'd pick for portraits and everyday walking shots.

The Ricoh GR II has an 18mm f/2.8 lens, like 27mm on full frame. That's wider, which suits street and travel scenes where you want more in the frame. It's also the only one of the two with a built-in flash, which the newer GR III dropped.

If you like the wide look of the street picks, go GR II. If you want a little more separation and a standard view, go X100S.
