Canon R10 vs Olympus E-M5 III Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Generally, it is hard to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over specifications. The visual below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and E-M5 III.
Plainly, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R10 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon R10 will offer greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer R10 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
