Canon R7 vs Panasonic G7 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's tough to see the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out specs. The visual underneath will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the R7 and G7.
All in all, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R7 using its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Canon R7 will show greater detail with its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern R7 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
