Canon R5 C vs Panasonic G100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes just by going over technical specs. The picture underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R5 C and G100.
As you have seen, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R5 C having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R5 C will offer extra detail with its extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer R5 C provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
