Canon R10 vs Olympus E-M1 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes simply by looking at specs. The picture here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R10 and E-M1 II.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R10 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Canon R10 will resolve extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots more aggressively. The younger R10 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
