Usually, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the R50 and GXR Mount A12.
Clearly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon R50 to render greater detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher R50 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
