Canon R3 vs Olympus E-M10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R3 and E-M10.
As you can see, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R3 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R3 will resolve extra detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern R3 is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
