Canon M50 vs Canon R7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over specifications. The graphic below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M50 and R7.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Canon R7 to offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older M50 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
