Canon R50 vs Olympus FE-4030 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Sometimes, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The photograph below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and FE-4030.
Plainly, the two cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R50 because of its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh simpler and the Canon R50 will produce more detail having its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher R50 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
