Canon R7 vs Panasonic S5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's tough to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking technical specs. The image here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R7 and S5.
As you have seen, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The R7 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Canon R7 will give extra detail utilizing its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The fresher R7 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
