The 7D was introduced 24 months after the L10 making them a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go straight to a complete comparison, here is a short highlight of how the 7D matches up versus the L10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 7D & Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 7D Gallery & Panasonic L10 Gallery.

More often than not, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The picture underneath will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 7D and L10.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 7D using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 7D will resolve more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more modern 7D provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
