In case you're aiming to travel with your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and volume.

Canon R7 vs Panasonic GH5S Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions merely by checking out specifications. The pic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R7 and GH5S.
To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R7 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon R7 will provide extra detail because of its extra 23MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer R7 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
