Canon R10 vs Sony A7 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's hard to envision the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R10 and A7 II.
As you can see, both of those cameras come with the identical MP but not the same sensor measurements. The R10 uses the tinier sensor which will make getting shallower DOF more difficult. The fresher R10 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
