The 7D MII was announced 9 months later than the Df and they are both of a similar age. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving straight into a full comparison, below is a brief view of how the 7D MII matches up against the Df in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 7D Mark II & Nikon Df. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 7D MII Gallery & Nikon Df Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to carry your camera, you'll need to factor its weight and volume.

Generally, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7D MII and Df.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 7D MII with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Canon 7D MII will deliver extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger 7D MII should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
