Canon R50 vs Panasonic S1R Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The picture here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the R50 and S1R.
Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R50 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh tougher and the Panasonic S1R will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 23MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger R50 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
