Canon R7 vs Panasonic S5 II Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it is hard to see the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and S5 II.
As you can see, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R7 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon R7 will offer you extra detail using its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older R7 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
