Canon R50 vs Nikon 1 V1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements purely by viewing specifications. The photograph below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and 1 V1.
To sum up, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R50 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R50 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger R50 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
