Canon R10 vs Nikon Z6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes merely by checking out technical specs. The pic below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and Z6.
As you can tell, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R10 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon Z6 will provide more detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The fresher R10 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
