Canon R5 vs Canon R50 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing specifications. The graphic here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the R5 and R50.
To sum up, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R5 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon R5 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 21 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older R5 will be behind in sensor tech.
