Canon R50 vs Panasonic G100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes just by checking technical specs. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and G100.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R50 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R50 will give you more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger R50 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
