Canon 100D vs Sony A350 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 100D and A350.

As you can see, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Canon 100D to render extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer 100D provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
