Canon T7 vs Leica M-Monochrom Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through specs. The visual underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the T7 and M-Monochrom.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The T7 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Canon T7 will render extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The younger T7 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
