Canon 60D vs Canon T7

Let's look a bit more closely at the Canon 60D vs Canon T7, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and both of them are offered by Canon. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the 60D (18MP) and T7 (24MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor sizes (APS-C).

The 60D was launched 8 years before the T7 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Canon 60D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon T7 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go through a more detailed comparison, below is a brief summary of how the 60D grades versus the T7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 60D and Canon EOS Rebel T7. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 60D Gallery and Canon T7 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to consider its weight and measurements. The Canon 60D enjoys exterior measurements of 145mm x 106mm x 79mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs) while the Canon T7 has proportions of 129mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.1" x 4.0" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 475 grams (1.05 lbs).

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the 60D and T7 is 59 and 68 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The visual here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 60D and T7.

As you have seen, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon T7 to give extra detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older 60D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
