Canon 1000D vs Nikon Df Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing just by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 1000D and Df.

As you can see, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1000D because of its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Nikon Df will deliver greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older 1000D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
