Canon 7D MII vs Fujifilm HS30EXR

Let's look more in depth at the Canon 7D MII and Fujifilm HS30EXR, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There is a big difference among the image resolutions of the 7D MII (20MP) and Fujifilm HS30EXR (16MP) and the 7D MII (APS-C) and Fujifilm HS30EXR (1/2") offer different sensor size.

The 7D MII was brought out 2 years later than the Fujifilm HS30EXR and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon 7D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Fujifilm HS30EXR being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving into a in depth comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the 7D MII matches up against the Fujifilm HS30EXR with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 7D MII and Fujifilm HS30EXR.

As you can see, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 7D MII because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon 7D MII will show greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher 7D MII provides an edge in sensor technology.
