Canon R10 vs Nikon Z9 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and Z9.
As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R10 with its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Nikon Z9 will offer extra detail having an extra 22MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more modern R10 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
