More often than not, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The pic below will provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R and S1H.

As you can see, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon R to provide you with extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged R will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
