Canon R vs Samsung NX1 Sensor Comparison
Usually, its hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes simply by checking out technical specs. The pic underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R and NX1.
As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R will provide extra detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern R should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
