The image resolution of the 760D (24MP) and the R (30MP) is pretty well matched but the 760D (APS-C) and R (Full frame) have totally different sensor size.

The 760D was revealed 4 years before the R which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Canon 760D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short introduction of how the 760D grades versus the R in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 760D and Canon EOS R. The full galleries are provided at Canon 760D Gallery and Canon R Gallery.

Generally, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions just by looking at specifications. The picture underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 760D and R.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 760D with its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Canon R will give extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged 760D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
