Canon G7 X MIII vs Sony RX1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading through specs. The pic below will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the G7 X MIII and RX1.
All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G7 X MIII having a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX1 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer G7 X MIII will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
