The 5D MIII was revealed 4 years before the G7 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Canon 5D MIII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Panasonic G7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a short view of how the 5D MIII grades vs the G7 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Normally, it is very tough to see the difference between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 5D MIII and G7.

As you can tell, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 5D MIII having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon 5D MIII will resolve extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older 5D MIII is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
