Canon R100 vs Panasonic G7

Below is a thorough comparison of the Canon R100 versus Panasonic G7, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the R100 (24MP) and G7 (16MP) and the R100 (APS-C) and G7 (Four Thirds) have totally different sensor measurements.

The R100 was announced 8 years later than the G7 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight to a full comparison, here is a short highlight of how the R100 matches up versus the G7 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon R100 Gallery and Panasonic G7 Gallery.

In case you're looking to lug around your camera, you're going to have to consider its weight and size. The Canon R100 offers outside measurements of 116mm x 86mm x 69mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.7") accompanied by a weight of 356 grams (0.78 lbs) and the Panasonic G7 has specifications of 125mm x 86mm x 77mm (4.9" x 3.4" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 410 grams (0.90 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are using at the time. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the R100 compared to the G7.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R100 and G7 is 76 and 71 respectively.

Quite often, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the R100 and G7.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R100 with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R100 will resolve more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer R100 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
