The M3 was revealed 5 years prior to the Fujifilm X-A7 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a simple overview of how the M3 scores against the Fujifilm X-A7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M3 and Fujifilm X-A7. The full galleries are provided at Canon M3 Gallery and Fujifilm X-A7 Gallery.

To sum up, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same resolution therefore you should expect similar quality of images although you should really consider the release date of the products into consideration. The older M3 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
