Canon R10 vs Nikon 1 V2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by going over specs. The photograph here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the R10 and 1 V2.
All in all, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R10 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon R10 will offer greater detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent R10 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
