Canon R5 C vs Panasonic G9 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R5 C and G9.
Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R5 C featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Canon R5 C will produce extra detail having its extra 25 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher R5 C should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
