Canon R5 C vs Panasonic G85 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R5 C and G85.
As you can see, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R5 C having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon R5 C will produce extra detail because of its extra 29 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger R5 C provides a benefit in sensor technology.
