Canon R50 vs OM System OM-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by checking out specs. The image below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and OM System OM-1.
All in all, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R50 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R50 will produce more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern R50 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
