Canon R7 vs Olympus PEN-F

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon R7 versus Olympus PEN-F, both Advanced Mirrorless cameras by brands Canon and Olympus. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the R7 (33MP) and PEN-F (20MP) and the R7 (APS-C) and PEN-F (Four Thirds) use different sensor dimensions.

The R7 was announced 6 years after the PEN-F which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon R7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus PEN-F being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick view of how the R7 scores vs the PEN-F with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS R7 & Olympus PEN-F. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon R7 Gallery & Olympus PEN-F Gallery.

If you are planning to carry around your camera, you'll need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Canon R7 has got external measurements of 132mm x 90mm x 92mm (5.2" x 3.5" x 3.6") and a weight of 612 grams (1.35 lbs) and the Olympus PEN-F has measurements of 125mm x 72mm x 37mm (4.9" x 2.8" x 1.5") having a weight of 427 grams (0.94 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you use at the time. Following is the front view dimensions comparison of the R7 vs the PEN-F.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R7 and PEN-F is 64 and 84 respectively.

Typically, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes just by checking out specifications. The picture here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and PEN-F.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R7 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R7 will produce greater detail with its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer R7 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
