Canon R7 vs Sony A3000 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by researching specifications. The image below should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and A3000.
Plainly, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon R7 to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more modern R7 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
