Canon R50 vs Canon RP Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at technical specs. The pic below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R50 and RP.
As you can tell, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R50 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Canon RP will give extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent R50 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
