Canon R10 vs Pentax Q Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions just by going through technical specs. The image underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and Q.
As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R10 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R10 will produce more detail because of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more recent R10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
