Canon R100 vs Nikon Z8 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reviewing technical specs. The pic below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R100 and Z8.
As you can tell, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R100 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon Z8 will deliver greater detail having its extra 22MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively.
