Canon R5 C vs Leica M10 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Often, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing simply by researching specs. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and M10.
As you can plainly see, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon R5 C to result in extra detail due to its extra 21MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher R5 C is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
