The 7D was announced 7 years earlier than the M10 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 7D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a detailed comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the 7D matches up vs the M10 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 7D and Canon EOS M10. The whole galleries are available at Canon 7D Gallery and Canon M10 Gallery.

For those who are looking to lug around your camera, you have to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon 7D provides physical measurements of 148mm x 111mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") and a weight of 860 grams (1.90 lbs) while the Canon M10 has measurements of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") and a weight of 301 grams (0.66 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that time. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the 7D versus the M10.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the 7D and M10 is 56 and 88 respectively.

Usually, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing specs. The visual underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 7D and M10.

All in all, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same exact resolution therefore you should expect similar quality of files but you need to consider the production date of the products into consideration. The older 7D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
