Canon R10 vs Sony A7R III Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at specifications. The graphic below may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the R10 and A7R III.

Plainly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R10 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sony A7R III will resolve more detail with its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The younger R10 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
