Canon R7 vs Leica SL2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very hard to imagine the gap between sensor sizes simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R7 and SL2.
Clearly, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R7 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Leica SL2 will offer you greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The newer R7 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
