Canon 30D vs Canon 7D MII

Let's take a more detailed look at the Canon 30D vs Canon 7D MII, both Advanced DSLR cameras and both of them are created by Canon. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the 30D (8MP) and 7D MII (20MP) but they enjoy the same exact sensor size (APS-C).

The 30D was revealed 9 years before the 7D MII which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a short summation of how the 30D matches up versus the 7D MII with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 30D and Canon EOS 7D Mark II. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 30D Gallery and Canon 7D MII Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera regularly, you are going to need to think about its weight and size. The Canon 30D comes with outside measurements of 144mm x 106mm x 74mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 2.9") accompanied by a weight of 784 grams (1.73 lbs) whilst the Canon 7D MII has specifications of 149mm x 112mm x 78mm (5.9" x 4.4" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 910 grams (2.01 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the 30D against the 7D MII.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 30D and 7D MII is 58 and 55 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by going through specifications. The picture underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 30D and 7D MII.

Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon 7D MII to produce extra detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged 30D will be behind in sensor technology.
