Canon R5 C vs Panasonic G6 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Often, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The pic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and G6.
Clearly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R5 C due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon R5 C will offer you greater detail having its extra 29MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The younger R5 C provides a benefit in sensor tech.
