Canon R10 vs Olympus E-PL1s Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes merely by going over a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and E-PL1s.
As you can see, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R10 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon R10 will deliver extra detail having its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern R10 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
