Konica Minolta 7D has a
6.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Canon R50 V has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic X processor.
Canon R50 V's sensor provides 18MP more than Konica Minolta 7D'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 7D and R50 V sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Konica Minolta 7D and Canon R50 V Cameras
As seen above, Konica Minolta 7D has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon R50 V. 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
Konica Minolta 7D
or the
Canon R50 V ,
including hyperfocal distance.
