Canon M50 II vs Canon R7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking specs. The graphic below may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M50 II and R7.
All in all, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Canon R7 to give you more detail with its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older M50 II is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
