Canon M6 vs Canon R7 Overview

Here is a extensive analysis of the Canon M6 vs Canon R7, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras and they are both manufactured by Canon. There is a big difference among the resolutions of the M6 (24MP) and R7 (33MP) but they feature the same exact sensor sizes (APS-C).

The M6 was released 6 years earlier than the R7 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon M6 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Canon R7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go in to a detailed comparison, below is a brief overview of how the M6 scores versus the R7 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Canon M6 vs Canon R7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 and R7.
As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon R7 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The older M6 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
