Canon R100 vs Canon R5 C Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over technical specs. The image below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R100 and R5 C.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R100 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon R5 C will deliver extra detail using its extra 21MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer R100 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
