Canon R10 vs Nikon Z50 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and Z50.
Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon R10 to offer extra detail having its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher R10 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
