Canon 350D vs Canon R5 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching specs. The graphic underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 350D and R5.

All in all, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 350D because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Canon R5 will render more detail due to its extra 37MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older 350D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
