The R7 was released 8 years later than the NX30 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a thorough comparison, here is a short highlight of how the R7 matches up vs the NX30 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R7 & Samsung NX30. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon R7 Gallery & Samsung NX30 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions.

Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by checking out technical specs. The graphic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and NX30.

As you can tell, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Canon R7 to provide greater detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more recent R7 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
