Canon R50 vs Casio EX-ZR300 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it's hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements only by researching technical specs. The photograph below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and EX-ZR300.
As you can tell, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R50 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon R50 will render more detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher R50 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
