Canon R100 vs Panasonic G5 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R100 and G5.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R100 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon R100 will resolve extra detail having an extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern R100 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
