Canon 100D vs Canon 450D Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by going over specifications. The graphic below will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 100D and 450D.

To sum up, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 100D to offer you extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The younger 100D will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
