Canon R5 C vs Olympus E-M10 II Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, it is difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading technical specs. The picture below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and E-M10 II.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R5 C using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon R5 C will offer you extra detail because of its extra 29 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The newer R5 C will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
