Canon R10 vs Sony RX100 V Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and RX100 V.
Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R10 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R10 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The younger R10 provides an advantage in sensor innovation.
