Canon M10 vs Canon R50 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes only by viewing technical specs. The image below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and R50.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon R50 to render extra detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged M10 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
