Canon R50 vs Panasonic G6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The picture here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and G6.
Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R50 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R50 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics far more aggressively. The newer R50 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
