Canon R50 vs Canon R6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes merely by looking through specs. The pic underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the R50 and R6.
All in all, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R50 using its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh trickier and the Canon R50 will render greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern R50 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
