Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R5 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Canon R5 will give more detail using its extra 31MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger R5 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
