Quite often, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The visual here will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and 1 S1.

Plainly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R10 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R10 will show greater detail because of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent R10 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
