Canon R7 vs Nikon Z7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing specifications. The graphic here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and Z7.
Plainly, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R7 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon Z7 will offer greater detail utilizing its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The fresher R7 should have an edge in sensor tech.
