Canon R100 vs Canon R6 II Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at technical specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R100 and R6 II.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses the exact same megapixels but not the same sensor sizing. The R100 comes with the tinier sensor which will make getting shallow depth of field trickier. The fresher R100 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
