Generally, its tough to envision the gap in sensor sizing merely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and G3.

As you can see, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R10 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Canon R10 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher R10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
