The R was manufactured 3 years later than the G7 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a in-depth comparison, below is a short overview of how the R grades against the G7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7. The entire galleries are provided at Canon R Gallery & Panasonic G7 Gallery.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Following is the front view size comparison of the R vs the G7.

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.
