Oftentimes, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R7 and E-M1 III.
Plainly, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R7 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon R7 will resolve more detail having its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more recent R7 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
