Canon R50 vs Nikon L32 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes just by reading specs. The image below should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and L32.
All in all, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R50 having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R50 will offer extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more modern R50 will have an edge in sensor tech.
