Canon T7 has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4+ processor. On the other hand, Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm has a
16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Smooth Imaging Engine IV processor.
Canon T7's sensor provides 8MP more than Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the T7 and GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon T7 and Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm Cameras
As seen above, Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon T7. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon T7
or the
Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm ,
including hyperfocal distance.
