In many cases, it is difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions just by checking out specifications. The picture underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 and G1 X III.

Plainly, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R6 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon G1 X III will show more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent R6 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
