Canon 50D vs Canon 7D

Following is a extended comparison of the Canon 50D vs Canon 7D, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and they are both sold by Canon. The image resolution of the 50D (15MP) and the 7D (18MP) is very similar and both cameras provide the identical sensor measurements (APS-C).

The 50D was introduced 12 months prior to the 7D which means that they are of a similar generation. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the 50D grades versus the 7D when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 50D and Canon EOS 7D. The whole galleries are available at Canon 50D Gallery and Canon 7D Gallery.

For those who are going to carry around your camera often, you need to factor in its weight and volume. The Canon 50D features external dimensions of 146mm x 108mm x 74mm (5.7" x 4.3" x 2.9") and a weight of 822 grams (1.81 lbs) whilst the Canon 7D has sizing of 148mm x 111mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") having a weight of 860 grams (1.90 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are employing at that moment. The following is a front view measurements comparison of the 50D versus the 7D.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 50D and 7D is 57 and 56 respectively.

Quite often, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The image below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 50D and 7D.

As you can see, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Canon 7D to offer you extra detail using its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 50D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
