Canon R5 C vs Canon R6 II Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements simply by checking a spec sheet. The photograph below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R5 C and R6 II.
Clearly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Canon R5 C to resolve extra detail due to its extra 21MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older R5 C is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
