The G7 X was unveiled 7 years earlier than the A7c and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Canon G7 X being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony A7c being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a thorough comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the G7 X grades vs the A7c in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot G7 X and Sony Alpha A7c. The full galleries are available at Canon G7 X Gallery and Sony A7c Gallery.

Often, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at specs. The photograph here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G7 X and A7c.

All in all, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G7 X with its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A7c will give more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The older G7 X is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
