As you can tell, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon R to offer greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger R is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
