Canon R10 vs Panasonic GF1 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by researching technical specs. The visual underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and GF1.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R10 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R10 will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer R10 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
