Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the M5 grades against the R7 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Generally, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The visual below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M5 and R7.
To sum up, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You can anticipate the Canon R7 to give extra detail using its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The older M5 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
