Canon M5 vs Canon R5 C Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is difficult to see the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching technical specs. The visual underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M5 and R5 C.
As you have seen, each of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M5 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon R5 C will result in extra detail having an extra 21 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older M5 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
