Canon R50 vs Canon G7 X MII

Here, we are reviewing the Canon R50 and Canon G7 X MII, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Large Sensor Compact and both of them are built by Canon. The sensor resolution of the R50 (24MP) and the G7 X MII (20MP) is fairly well matched but the R50 (APS-C) and G7 X MII (1") provide totally different sensor size.

The R50 was revealed 7 years later than the G7 X MII and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon R50 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Canon G7 X MII being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the R50 grades versus the G7 X MII when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS R50 & Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II. The full galleries are viewable at Canon R50 Gallery & Canon G7 X MII Gallery.

In case you're going to carry your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and measurements.

Sometimes, it is tough to see the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and G7 X MII.

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R50 using its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R50 will give you greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger R50 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
