Canon R50 vs Nikon D5 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The graphic below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and D5.
To sum up, both the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R50 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Canon R50 will resolve extra detail using its extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The newer R50 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
