Plainly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R7 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon R7 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The newer R7 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
