Generally, it can be hard to see the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through specifications. The visual here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R and EX-H30.

Plainly, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R because of its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon R will resolve greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern R will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
