Canon R10 vs Sony a1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specs. The pic here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and a1.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R10 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony a1 will render extra detail using its extra 26MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The younger R10 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
