Canon R10 vs Olympus E-M10 IV Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing technical specs. The image here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and E-M10 IV.
As you have seen, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R10 having a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon R10 will render more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The younger R10 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
