Canon R7 vs Panasonic G1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing simply by checking out specs. The graphic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and G1.
All in all, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R7 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R7 will show extra detail because of its extra 21 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more recent R7 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
