Canon R50 vs Canon R7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R50 and R7.
As you can tell, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Canon R7 to provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The younger R50 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
