Canon R10 vs Sony A7S Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes just by researching a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and A7S.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R10 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Canon R10 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The fresher R10 should have an edge in sensor innovation.
