Canon R5 C vs Sony A3000 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, it is tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes merely by looking at specifications. The pic below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R5 C and A3000.
To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R5 C using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon R5 C will resolve more detail because of its extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The newer R5 C should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
