Canon R10 vs Panasonic G9 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and G9.

Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R10 using its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon R10 will show more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer R10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
