Canon R5 C vs Panasonic G7 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is very hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reading specifications. The graphic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 C and G7.
To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R5 C with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R5 C will deliver more detail using its extra 29MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The fresher R5 C should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
