Canon 7D MII vs Canon SX740 HS

Lets look a bit more closely at the Canon 7D MII versus Canon SX740 HS, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both offered by Canon. The resolution of the 7D MII (20MP) and the SX740 HS (21MP) is pretty similar but the 7D MII (APS-C) and SX740 HS (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor sizing.

The 7D MII was manufactured 4 years earlier than the SX740 HS and that is quite a significant gap as far as 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 SX740 HS being a Compact camera.

Before delving right into a complete comparison, here is a short view of how the 7D MII grades against the SX740 HS in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon PowerShot SX740 HS. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 7D MII Gallery and Canon SX740 HS Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera frequently, you're going to have to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon 7D MII has got exterior dimensions of 149mm x 112mm x 78mm (5.9" x 4.4" x 3.1") having a weight of 910 grams (2.01 lbs) while the Canon SX740 HS has measurements of 110mm x 64mm x 40mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.6") having a weight of 299 grams (0.66 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are using during that time. Following is a front view dimension comparison of the 7D MII vs the SX740 HS.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 7D MII and SX740 HS is 55 and 88 respectively.

Sometimes, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading technical specs. The photograph here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D MII and SX740 HS.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 7D MII featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon SX740 HS will deliver extra detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 7D MII is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
