Canon R5 C vs Samsung NX30 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through specs. The visual here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the R5 C and NX30.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R5 C due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R5 C will render extra detail as a result of its extra 25MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger R5 C is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
