Canon R50 vs Nikon 1 V2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by researching specifications. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and 1 V2.
To sum up, both of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R50 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Canon R50 will render extra detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The newer R50 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
