Let's look a little more closely at the Canon 7D and Fujifilm X-T2, former is a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Canon and FujiFilm. There is a substantial difference between the sensor resolutions of the 7D (18MP) and Fujifilm X-T2 (24MP) but both cameras boast the same sensor sizing (APS-C).

The 7D was manufactured 7 years earlier than the Fujifilm X-T2 which is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Canon 7D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Fujifilm X-T2 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the 7D scores versus the Fujifilm X-T2 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 7D & Fujifilm X-T2. The entire galleries are available at Canon 7D Gallery & Fujifilm X-T2 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera regularly, you will need to consider its weight and measurements.

Oftentimes, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 7D and Fujifilm X-T2.

Clearly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Fujifilm X-T2 to offer more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged 7D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
