Canon R5 C vs Olympus E-M10 III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over specifications. The visual below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and E-M10 III.
Plainly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R5 C having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon R5 C will offer greater detail having an extra 29 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer R5 C should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
