Canon R10 vs Sony A7 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Generally, it can be difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The visual here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and A7.
As you can tell, the two cameras provide the same MP but not the same sensor measurements. The R10 has got the tinier sensor which will make getting shallower DOF harder. The newer R10 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
