Here we are comparing two Canon cameras cameras with different body types: Canon G7 X MIII, which was introduced in July 2019 is a Large sensor compact camera with a 20.0MP 1″ sensor whereas Canon M50, which was introduced in February 2018 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor. There is 16 months difference between G7 X MIII and M50 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger G7 X MIII, especially in sensor tech.

Comparing an interchangeble lens camera to a fixed lens camera is a bit tricky but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison.

Here is a brief look at the main features of the Canon G7 X MIII and Canon M50 before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon G7 X MIII and Canon M50 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G7 X MIII has external dimensions of 105 x 61 x 41 mm (4.13 x 2.4 x 1.61″) and weighs 304 g (0.67 lb / 10.72 oz) (including batteries). Canon M50 has external dimensions of 116 x 88 x 59 mm (4.57 x 3.46 x 2.32″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G7 X MIII and the Canon M50. Canon G7 X MIII is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 11mm narrower, 27mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Canon M50. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G7 X MIII has a built-in lens but Canon M50 doesn't. Once you put a lens on M50, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon G7 X MIII is significantly lighter (86g ) than the Canon M50 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on M50, the total kit will weigh much higher. Weather Sealing

Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III nor Canon EOS M50 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing Top Mirrorless Cameras with Weather Sealing

LCD Screen Size and Features

Canon G7 X MIII and Canon M50's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Canon G7 X MIII features a Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon M50 sports a Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.

Canon G7 X MIII has a 20.0MP 1″ (13.2 x 8.8 mm ) sized Stacked BSI-CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 8 processor. On the other hand, Canon M50 has a 24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 8 processor.

Below you can see the G7 X MIII and M50 sensor size comparison.
