Canon R10 vs Pentax Q7 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Oftentimes, it can be hard to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over specs. The photograph here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and Q7.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R10 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R10 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger R10 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
