Canon R7 vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by reading specifications. The graphic underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R7 and A7S III.
Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R7 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon R7 will offer you extra detail having an extra 21 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern R7 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
