Canon R100 vs OM System OM-1 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it can be hard to see the difference in sensor sizes purely by looking through a spec sheet. The image here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the R100 and OM System OM-1.
Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R100 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R100 will result in greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The more recent R100 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
