Canon R7 vs Panasonic GH6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's tough to see the gap between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The visual here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the R7 and GH6.
Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R7 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R7 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively.
