Canon R10 vs Olympus E-PL9 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The photograph here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and E-PL9.
Plainly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R10 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R10 will deliver more detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern R10 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
