Often, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and S1.
Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Canon R5 C to deliver extra detail because of its extra 21MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern R5 C provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
