Canon R7 vs Nikon Z50 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizes just by viewing specs. The pic underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R7 and Z50.
All in all, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon R7 to provide you with more detail utilizing its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher R7 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
