Canon R vs Panasonic G7 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out specifications. The graphic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R and G7.

To sum up, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R will provide greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger R will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
