The R was introduced 4 years after the a3500 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the R grades versus the a3500 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS R and Sony Alpha a3500. The whole galleries are available at Canon R Gallery and Sony a3500 Gallery.

When you are planning to travel with your camera regularly, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions.

More often than not, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing specs. The picture below might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R and a3500.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh simpler and the Canon R will render greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more recent R should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
