To sum up, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R3 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon R3 will offer more detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The younger R3 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
