Canon 10D vs Canon 7D MII Sensor Comparison
Typically, its tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The image below should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and 7D MII.
Plainly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon 7D MII to result in more detail because of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
