The R3 was unveiled 3 years after the Z7 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief overview of how the R3 scores versus the Z7 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z7. The full galleries are provided at Canon R3 Gallery and Nikon Z7 Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and proportions.

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The picture here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the R3 and Z7.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon Z7 to render extra detail having an extra 22MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern R3 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
