Canon 100D vs Nikon D60 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes purely by going through technical specs. The pic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 100D and D60.

As you can tell, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 100D to provide extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The newer 100D should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
