In many cases, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements simply by researching a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R and P1000.

Clearly, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R will result in extra detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics more aggressively.
