Canon R50 vs Nikon P610 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at specs. The image here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and P610.
All in all, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R50 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon R50 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher R50 will have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
