Canon R5 has a
45.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic X processor. On the other hand, Sony ZV-E1 has a
12.0MP Full frame (35.6 x 23.8 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Bionz XR processor.
Canon R5's sensor provides 33MP more than Sony ZV-E1's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the R5 and ZV-E1 sensor size comparison.
Canon R5 and Sony ZV-E1 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
