Canon R3 vs Panasonic GH6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over specs. The visual here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R3 and GH6.
All in all, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R3 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Panasonic GH6 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images far more aggressively.
