Canon R vs Canon R10

Here is a detailed assessment of the Canon R versus Canon R10, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both of them are manufactured by Canon. There exists a substantial gap among the image resolutions of the R (30MP) and R10 (24MP) and the R (Full frame) and R10 (APS-C) use different sensor measurements.

The R was brought out 4 years before the R10 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick view of how the R matches up vs the R10 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R & Canon EOS R10. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon R Gallery & Canon R10 Gallery.

When you are intending to carry your camera often, you will need to factor its weight and volume. The Canon R features outside measurements of 136mm x 98mm x 84mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.3") along with a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) whilst the Canon R10 has sizing of 123mm x 88mm x 83mm (4.8" x 3.5" x 3.3") having a weight of 426 grams (0.94 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are using during that time. Underneath is the front view proportions comparison of the R versus the R10.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the R and R10 is 62 and 69 respectively.

More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R and R10.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon R will produce more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The older R will be behind in sensor technology.
