Canon R100 vs Leica SL2-S Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing specs. The pic below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R100 and SL2-S.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count but not the same sensor sizes. The R100 uses the smaller sensor which should make obtaining shallow depth of field more difficult. The newer R100 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
