Sony RX1R vs Sony ZV-1F Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes just by researching specifications. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the RX1R and ZV-1F.
Plainly, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The RX1R due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony RX1R will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged RX1R will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
