Canon R10 vs Sony A7R Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and A7R.
Plainly, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R10 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Sony A7R will provide you with greater detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern R10 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
