Generally, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements just by reading specifications. The graphic below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the R7 and NX20.
To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should expect to see the Canon R7 to offer extra detail due to its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger R7 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
