Canon R7 vs Nikon 1 V3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its tough to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The visual underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R7 and 1 V3.
As you can see, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The R7 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon R7 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images more aggressively. The younger R7 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
