Canon R5 C vs Panasonic GH5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at technical specs. The pic underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the R5 C and GH5.
As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R5 C featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R5 C will resolve extra detail due to its extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The newer R5 C is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
