Canon 7D MII vs Canon SX30 IS

Here, we are reviewing the Canon 7D MII versus Canon SX30 IS, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are sold by Canon. There exists a substantial gap among the image resolutions of the 7D MII (20MP) and SX30 IS (14MP) and the 7D MII (APS-C) and SX30 IS (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor sizing.

The 7D MII was revealed 4 years later than the SX30 IS and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 7D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX30 IS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving into a full comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the 7D MII matches up versus the SX30 IS when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 7D Mark II & Canon PowerShot SX30 IS. The full galleries are provided at Canon 7D MII Gallery & Canon SX30 IS Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera, you should consider its weight and volume. The Canon 7D MII provides exterior dimensions of 149mm x 112mm x 78mm (5.9" x 4.4" x 3.1") along with a weight of 910 grams (2.01 lbs) whilst the Canon SX30 IS has sizing of 123mm x 92mm x 108mm (4.8" x 3.6" x 4.3") with a weight of 601 grams (1.32 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are working with at the time. The following is a front view dimensions comparison of the 7D MII versus the SX30 IS.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 7D MII and SX30 IS is 55 and 64 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The visual below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D MII and SX30 IS.

As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 7D MII having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 7D MII will produce extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 7D MII is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
