Canon 7D vs Panasonic L1

Lets examine more in depth at the Canon 7D versus Panasonic L1, both Advanced DSLR cameras by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a considerable gap among the image resolutions of the 7D (18MP) and L1 (7MP) and the 7D (APS-C) and L1 (Four Thirds) feature different sensor sizes.

The 7D was introduced 2 years after the L1 which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the 7D grades vs the L1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 7D & Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 7D Gallery & Panasonic L1 Gallery.

For those who are looking to travel with your camera often, you have to factor its weight and proportions. The Canon 7D offers external measurements of 148mm x 111mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") accompanied by a weight of 860 grams (1.90 lbs) while the Panasonic L1 has measurements of 146mm x 87mm x 77mm (5.7" x 3.4" x 3.0") and a weight of 606 grams (1.34 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is the front view scale comparison of the 7D versus the L1.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 7D and L1 is 56 and 65 respectively.

More often than not, it's tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 7D and L1.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 7D using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 7D will provide you with extra detail using its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The newer 7D provides an advantage in sensor technology.
