Clearly, each of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Canon R will render greater detail due to its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent R provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
