Canon R50 vs Epson R-D1 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, its hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and R-D1.
Clearly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Canon R50 to produce greater detail utilizing its extra 18MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The fresher R50 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
