Canon R10 vs Panasonic G1 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, its tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The photograph here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and G1.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R10 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R10 will produce extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The newer R10 provides an edge with regard to sensor tech.
