Canon R10 vs Olympus E-M1X Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by viewing technical specs. The image here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and E-M1X.
As you have seen, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R10 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon R10 will provide you with more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern R10 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
