Canon R8 vs Panasonic G95 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by going over technical specs. The picture here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R8 and G95.

As you have seen, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R8 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R8 will offer greater detail because of its extra 3.7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher R8 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
