As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R5 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R5 will produce greater detail with its extra 29 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The newer R5 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
