Canon R7 vs Samsung NX30 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
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.
