Canon 5DS vs Leica M Typ 262 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be difficult to see the difference in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5DS and M Typ 262.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon 5DS to show more detail having its extra 27 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 5DS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
