The 7D MII was announced 13 months later than the SX510 HS making them a generation apart from each other. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 7D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX510 HS being a Compact camera.

Before getting right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick summary of how the 7D MII matches up vs the SX510 HS in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon PowerShot SX510 HS. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 7D MII Gallery and Canon SX510 HS Gallery.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and volume. The Canon 7D MII comes with external measurements of 149mm x 112mm x 78mm (5.9" x 4.4" x 3.1") having a weight of 910 grams (2.01 lbs) whilst the Canon SX510 HS has sizing of 104mm x 70mm x 80mm (4.1" x 2.8" x 3.1") with a weight of 349 grams (0.77 lbs).

Usually, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 7D MII and SX510 HS.

To sum up, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 7D MII having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 7D MII will render more detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The younger 7D MII should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
