Canon R50 vs Nikon D6 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at specifications. The image here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and D6.
To sum up, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R50 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Canon R50 will give more detail utilizing its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The younger R50 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
