Canon R5 C vs Panasonic G3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R5 C and G3.
Clearly, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R5 C with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon R5 C will offer you extra detail with its extra 29 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent R5 C provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
