Canon R5 C vs Olympus E-M10 IV Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The visual here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R5 C and E-M10 IV.
As you have seen, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R5 C because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R5 C will result in more detail due to its extra 25MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The newer R5 C will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
