Canon R5 C vs Sony A7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading specifications. The visual here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R5 C and A7.
Plainly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Canon R5 C to offer you extra detail having an extra 21 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent R5 C is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
