The 60Da was unveiled 2 years later than the 7D and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the 60Da scores versus the 7D with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 60Da & Canon EOS 7D. The full galleries are provided at Canon 60Da Gallery & Canon 7D Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and dimensions.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are working with at the time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the 60Da compared to the 7D.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 60Da and 7D is 59 and 56 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the 60Da and 7D.

As you can see, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size and the same resolution so you can expect comparable quality of files although you need to take the launch date of the cameras into account. The more recent 60Da is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
