Canon R10 vs Sony NEX-C3 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, its difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and NEX-C3.
As you can tell, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Canon R10 to deliver extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent R10 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
