As you can see, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R8 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon R8 will produce extra detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher R8 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
