Canon R6 vs Sony W710 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to see the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing specifications. The photograph underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 and W710.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R6 with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R6 will show greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer R6 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
