Canon R10 vs Panasonic G6 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor sizes only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and G6.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R10 with its larger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Canon R10 will produce extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern R10 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
