Canon 5D vs Canon R7

The following is a extensive assessment of the Canon 5D versus Canon R7, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and both are produced by Canon. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the 5D (13MP) and R7 (33MP) and the 5D (Full frame) and R7 (APS-C) provide different sensor measurements.

The 5D was introduced 17 years earlier than the R7 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 5D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon R7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a thorough comparison, here is a short overview of how the 5D matches up versus the R7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 5D and Canon EOS R7. The whole galleries are available at Canon 5D Gallery and Canon R7 Gallery.

For those who are planning to travel with your camera often, you will want to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon 5D has got physical dimensions of 152mm x 113mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.4" x 3.0") with a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) and the Canon R7 has dimensions of 132mm x 90mm x 92mm (5.2" x 3.5" x 3.6") and a weight of 612 grams (1.35 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you choose at the time. Below is a front view measurements comparison of the 5D vs the R7.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 5D and R7 is 55 and 64 respectively.

Quite often, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 5D and R7.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 5D with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R7 will resolve more detail using its extra 20 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged 5D is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
