Canon R10 vs Olympus E-M10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes just by looking through a spec sheet. The pic below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R10 and E-M10.
Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R10 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R10 will provide you with more detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The fresher R10 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
