Canon R7 vs Olympus E-M10 II Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The graphic below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R7 and E-M10 II.
Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R7 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R7 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 17MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent R7 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
